April 23 = St. George's Feast Day!
I just have less information about St. George the Martyr but I will still share it to you. Facts are still from the Christian Prayer: The Liturgy of the hours.
The veneration of Saint George began as early as the fourth century at Lydda in Palestine, where a church was built in his honor. From antiquity this veneration has spread throughout both the East and the West.
Before opening a wonderful day, let's take a moment and say a prayer.
Prayer
Lord,
hear the prayers of those who praise your mighty power.
As Saint George was ready to follow Christ in suffering and death,
so may he be ready to help us in our weakness.
Amen!
