23 April - Saint George's Day
Saint George is the name of a Roman soldier executed in Nicomedia because of his Christian faith, for which he is venerated as a martyr. It is believed that he lived between 275 or 280 and April 23, 303. According to the golden legend, he was "of the lineage of the Cappadocians", which is why he is sometimes mistakenly identified with the Arian bishop St. George.
His popularity in the Middle Ages has led him to be one of the most venerated saints in the different Christian beliefs and even - in a phenomenon of syncretism - in the African-American and Muslim religions of the Middle East, especially Palestine where he is called Mar Yeries (Christian Arab) or Al-Khadr (both Christian and Muslim Arab).
