28 Paterikon for Kids - Saint George

Saint George the Trophybearer is commemorated on November 3/16 and April 23/May 6 (if Pascha is earlier than April 23, we celebrate on Bright Monday).

Great Holy Martyr George the Trophy-Bearer is one of our kids' favorites. We've discovered they love him so much because of defeating the dragon. When they find out who he was and what an important role he played in other Saints' lives, such as Saint Alexandra, they get to love him even more. The fact that Dionysios' great-grandfather was a priest named after this Saint and that he's been miraculous in our lives makes him even more special to our family and us. We hope and pray that you and your children will get to know him. If you've got younger kids, you might also want to read them one of our other books on Saint George, namely, "Saint George and the Dragon," and for little older children, "My Warrior Saints."
