Virtually nothing reliable is known about the life of Saint George, to whom this church is dedicated, but veneration of him dates back to early Christianity. A martyr identified with George is said to have lived in the third century. The legend of Saint George as the dragon slayer, however, is very well-known and widespread. He is usually depicted—in paintings or as a statue—as the vanquisher of the beast, often as a knight on horseback. The feast day of this very popular saint is celebrated on April 23 in both the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. He is, among other things, the patron saint of the Kingdom of England, and several of the orders and decorations awarded there bear his name.
