Pomp And Circumstance March No. 1 by Edward Elgar

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet,
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.

[zebibbelayneh]

At the end, that's a dragon right there. Cherry picking the past for a favourable present. When I was a child, the lakes near where I was living would dry up in summer leaving shallow pools with the remaining fish. All you had to do was muddy the waters and the fish would swim on the surface and, you could just grab them with your hand. Christians were fishers of men. The dragon can be many things and can be used for both that we perceive as good and evil. It takes a lot of understanding to decide who St. George is and what the dragon is for each area and time. Because it's celebrated in spring it could also be the trials and discernment of all the decisions people took over the winter. A organiser for development and so on.

There is a few accounts of him existing. There is a church in Egypt where they have most of the things he was tortured with.

The version of the story I prefer is in which the dragon doesn't terrorize the village, but its presence poisoned the air and water. To me, that works better as a metaphor of evil, and lines up better with older dragon mythology.

O God, who granted to Saint George the strength to sustain the torments he received for our holy faith; I beseech You to prevent my faith from wavering, so that I may also faithfully serve You with a sincere heart unto death. I ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

St George, a faithful servant of God and invincible martyr, you were favoured by God with the gift of faith, and inflamed with an ardent love of Christ. You fought valiantly against pride, falsehood, and deceit. Neither pain nor torture, sword nor death could part you from the love of Christ. I fervently implore you to help me by your intercession to bear bravely the trials and temptations that oppress me, so that I may patiently carry the cross which is placed upon me. Let neither distress nor difficulties separate me from the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Valiant champion of our faith, assist me in the fight against all evil.

Happy Saint Georges Day😎They have tried the same thing in France, my country, a few years ago they tried to remove a statue of Joan of Arc, and let's just say it didn't go well for them😅. While I think France has lost a sizable part of its soul since the French Revolution the French Spirit still remains, Bravery, Loyalty, and Perseverance in the face of terrible odds are some of the hallmark traits that still endure, such as in WW1 and WW2 and this spirit is embodied in our Patron Saint Joan of Arc.

I am not afraid, I was born to do this. – Joan of Arc's last words.

"Draconis Occidentalis" or "Western Dragons" are identified by their large 'bat' wings, scales, "bull" horns.
