The patron saint of skin diseases and syphilis, no less. And the Boy Scouts.

A few St. George beliefs.

* Born in Turkey (in Cappadocia)
* Lived in 3rd century AD
* His parents were Christian
* Later lived in Palestine
* Became a Roman soldier
* Protested against Rome's persecution of Christians
* Imprisoned and tortured, but stayed true to his faith
* Beheaded at Lydda in Palestine
* 23rd April was named as Saint George's day in 1222

He is patron saint not only of England but also of Aragon, Catalonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Germany and Greece; and of Moscow, Istanbul, Genoa and Venice (second to Saint Mark). He's also patron saint of soldiers, archers, cavalry and chivalry, farmers and field workers, riders and saddlers, and he helps those suffering from leprosy, plague and syphilis. In recent years he has been adopted as patron saint of Scouts.

Some people have campaigned for Saint Alban to be the patron saint of England instead of George.


So happy St Albans day. :wink:

I'd rather it was the Venerable Bede. Then we can have a Bede Day.

Aye, probably as opposed to Ken Livingstone, and they all live there anyway. :wink:
