What Dragon Died on the 23rd of April?

In 303 AD, St George, a soldier at the height of his career, stood before the most powerful ruler in the world and refused to deny what he believed. He was offered everything to recant: his rank, his wealth, his life. He refused every offer and endured everything that followed. He died on 23 April of that year.

Within twenty years, the faith he died for had become the faith of the empire that killed him.

St George took a stand and he did not just change the direction of Europe. He set the course for the entire western world to follow. What he slayed was far greater than any dragon, and how he slayed it was greater than any myth that followed.
