George of Lydda – Soldier, Saint & Martyr

Description

Who was St. George? Confusion of thought regarding the Patron Saint of England has caused many to regard him as a mythological figure. This is unjust, as Isabel Hill Elder has shown in her study of his life, based upon historical records, many of them little known.

The real St. George was not only one of the founders of the Christian Faith in the British Isles, but also throughout the Continent, and his life and witness affected not only Britain and ultimately the whole of the Roman Empire.
