Saint George |
In the fully developed Western version, which developed as part of the Golden Legend, a dragon makes its nest at the spring that provides water for the city, consequently, the citizens have to dislodge the dragon from its nest for a time, to collect water. to do so, each day they offer the dragon at first a sheep, and if no sheep can be found, then a maiden is the best substitute for one. the victim is chosen by drawing lots.
Ome day, this happens to be the princess, the monarch begs for her life to be spared but to no avail. she is offered to the the dragon, but then Saint George appears on his travels. he faces the dragon, protects himself with the sign of the cross, slays the dragon, and rescues the princess. the citizens abandon their ancestral paganism and convert to Christianity.
Saint George is considered the protector, helper and supporter of Saint George Auto Sales....
