Saint George is the patron saint of England. A patron saint is a special protector, a guide or a guardian.
The symbol of Saint George is a red cross on a white background. This is now the flag of England, and part of the British flag.
George was born in Turkey in the third century A.D.
He was a Christian and he became a very brave Roman soldier when he was 17.
By the 4th century, the Roman Emperor Diocletian started to persecute Christians.
George protested against the persecution of Christians by the Romans.
So he was arrested, imprisoned and tortured. He was executed on 23rd April 303 A.D.
He became a Christian martyr because he was killed for his religion.
During the Middle Ages, English kings placed their armies under George's protection as he was a symbol of bravery and faith, thus becoming the saint patron of England.
