St George
Date: 23rd April 2020
St George was probably born in Turkey, and is believed to have been a soldier who was martyred for his Christian faith on 23 April 303. He rapidly gained a significant devotion, and in 494, he was canonised by Pope Gelasius, who gave few details of his life, saying only that he was one of those "whose names are justly revered among men but whose acts are known only to God".
