Behind the Design … from Thomas Glenn Collection

Who is St. George?

He is patron saint of England, Greece, Portugal, Russia and a host of cities and profession. Canonized in 494 AD, he is one of the most renowned saints in the Roman Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, and the Eastern Catholic Churches. He is regarded as one of the most prominent military saints. Who is this epic figure? He is St. George and his chivalric character led to the allegorical fable of his slaying of the great dragon.

While there are no firm dates for his birth and death, sources estimate his date of birth between 275 and 281 AD and his death as April 23, 303. Born in Cappadocia in Asia Minor (now Turkey), his family was Christian and was part of the nobility.
Roman Emperor Diocletian began persecuting Christians under his rule in 302 AD. St. George opposed the emperor’s decrees and soon found himself imprisoned and tortured. Publicly dragged through the streets and beheaded in Nicoimedia (Palestine), he became one of the earliest Christian martyrs. According to legend, the emperor’s wife was impressed by his faith. She converted to Christianity and was also put to death.
What about the Dragon?

St. George’s myth and legend seems to date back to the 12th century. Storytellers recounted his heroic deeds, which continued to mount through the centuries. By the 14th century, traveling troubadours spread his embellished, but certainly romantic, legend.

In Silene, Libya, there was a dragon doing his part to terrorize that portion of the country. The town of Silene had fed it the majority of their livestock in order to try and satisfy the monster. The monster was not appeased and proceeded to feed upon the townsfolk. Thinking that the dragon must desire an even better sacrifice and set upon offering up their local princess, Cleolinda. At that precise moment, St. George appeared, killed the dragon and rescued Princess Cleolinda. He married her, and the whole town converted to Christianity.

From France – Day 7

Thursday, Dec 10

After breakfast, we again boarded our bus for a day exploring one of the most sceneic regions of France. Our first stop was at the medieval Haut Koenigsbourg Fortress. We visited the picturesque French village of Riquewihr and the little town of Colmar. After a long but action-packed day, we returned to our hotel for dinner and a good night’s rest!

The Strasbourg, France Christmas Market

The French holiday “style” is glittery with some bold and stylish colors.  Take a look at some of the things Christmas market sellers were offering.  There were also LOTS of strings of LED lights … very popular and very expensive!
