St. George
Patron Saint of England
Legend states that St. George was born to Christian parents in the 200s. In his 20s, he entered the Roman army and was a personal guard of Emperor Diocletian. In 303, the emperor decreed that all soldiers should make a sacrified to pagan gods. George refused to abandon his faith and was ultimately executed. St. George has been highly revered throughout Church history and he is the patron saint of many countries, including England.
