Bet Giorgis Cavalry
Thundering death, in the name of God, St. Michael and St. George.Saint George is one of those rare people – someone venerated across all the major Christian Churches, regardless of their differences. This is probably because his martyrdom was representative of the struggle all early Christians against the pagan states who held power during antiquity. George was an officer in the Roman army, of Greek parentage and probably born in Syria around AD275. He was put to death by the murderous Emperor Diocletian, during a purge of non-pagans in the Roman army. Given the opportunity to recant his Christianity, he refused and instead proclaimed his faith publicly. Even though the Emperor thought highly of his late father, George was executed lest Diocletian appear weak in front of his officers – something which had led to the death of many an erstwhile Roman Emperor before him. Saint George’s martyrdom is celebrated (in the Julian calendar) on 23rd April, and he has since become the patron of many places and (usually military) professions. Saint George is probably most famous in England, where he is known for slaying the dragon in a highly-apocryphal story brought back from Palestine by the Crusaders.
