Saint George is one of the most revered saints, a martyr of the faith of Christ. He was a soldier in the Roman Empire. His name is immortalized in the myth of St. George and the dragon.
All the icons depict St. George mounted on a white horse, with a spear in his hand, and at his feet lies the dragon killed by him. Each year on May 6 in Bulgaria is celebrated a holiday named after the saint - St. George's Day!
In life, St. George performed many miracles, relying on his faith. Many people believed his words and were killed. It tells of a case when he even raised a dead man with fervent prayer. George performed miracles and was thrown into prison. Despite all the torture, he remained steadfast and confident that the Lord was protecting him.
He was thrown into a pit of quicklime for three days. With God's help and prayer, he came out unscathed. He was slaughtered in front of the walls of Nicomedia, buried in the city of Lida. In time, Christians began to worship him as a martyr, a heavenly warrior, and a protector.
The story of St. George is like a fairy tale and let's tell it to you. There was a lake near the town of Virat. A terrible dragon lived in it. He went out and attacked people. No one could fight the dragon, and the ruler ordered that one child be given to the dragon every day to save the others. The king promised that when his turn came, he would give his daughter. The day has come! The disguised girl went to the lake.
As soon as the dragon came out, St. George appeared, riding a white horse. The girl told why he was there, Georgi ran to the dragon and stabbed him with his spear.
He ordered the girl to tie the dragon to her belt and drag it to the city. They all fell into fear and terror, but George told them not to be afraid, because the Lord Jesus Christ had sent him to deliver them from this beast.
He cut off the dragon's head with his sword, and when the people saw it, they believed and were baptized. At this place they built a church named after St. George and named it Victorious!
On May 6, we celebrate St. George's Day with many rituals and a festive meal, including ritual bread, roast lamb, lettuce.
As a rule, traditional dishes for St. George's Day include lamb and lots of greens. In some parts of the country soup is made for St. George's Day.
