The Feast of St. George, Martyr and Patron Saint of Albion, April 23 is also the National Day of England

Saint George : Great Martyr and Victory Bearer

Because of St. George and other martyrs of the Roman Legion, the pagan era of Rome was coming to an end and Christianity was preparing to triumph.  Within ten years of the martyr’s death, Emperor Constantine would issue the Edict of Milan allowing religious freedom to the Christian Church.

The Lives of the Saints – St. George of Lydda.

A documentary about St. George, the Protector of Captives.

St. George, born into an illustrious family in Cappadocia was promoted to the first ranks of the Roman Legion. When the Emperor Diocletion published his first edict against the Christians at Nicomedia, St. George reproached him for his cruelty. Immediately, he was cast into prison and subjected to such torments that the Christian East gave him the title : ‘the Great Martyr’.

He was beheaded as a witness to the faith in 303 A.D.

According to Pope Gelasius, St George is “one of those whose names are justly revered among men, but whose acts are known only to God”. – Canonisation of St George 494 A.D.

St George is venerated as patron of the Christian armies by the Greeks and the Latins. In the time of Nova Roma, basilicas were raised in his honour throughout the Oikoumene. He was named the patron saint of England in the thirteenth century as well as many other Christian nations founded upon the universal Church both East and West.

England’s ancient historian, The Venerable Bede named him amongst the early Christian martyrs and patron of England.

St George of Cappadocia was greatly honoured by those who took up the Crusade against the Islamic invasion of the Christian East of the Nova Roma  6th century A.D.  Later, when Europe was invaded by Islam through the Iberian Peninsula, Pope Zachary ( 741 – 752 ) moved the relics of the saint to Rome from the East.

His basilica was raised in Rome in the 7^th century A.D.  San Giorgio in Velabro stands upon the low stream connecting the Capitoline Hill and the Palatine Hill. According to the founding legend of Rome, San Giorgio was built where the she-wolf found the twins Romulus and Remus and the city itself was founded.

San Giorgio in Velabro has been the Station for the first Thursday after Ash Wednesday, from the time of Gregory II ( VII th century). As a titular church, it is one of the twenty-five parishes of Rome.  In  the fifth century  the head of the Christian warrior was interred under the high altar.
(Notes from the St. Andrew Daily Missal)

The Gospel appointed for the Station at St. George’s is the Gospel which tells of the Centurion
Gospel of Matthew Viii : 5 – 13

“ Domine , non suum dignus, ut intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic verbo, et sanabitur puer meus. Nam et ego homo sum sub potestate constitutus , havens sub me milites, et dico huic : Vade, et vadit ; et alii : Veni, et venit ; et servo meo : Fac hoc, et facit. “

Lord. I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof : but only say the word and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man subject to authority , having under me soldiers, and I say to this : Go, and he goeth : and to another : Come , and he cometh ; and to my servant : Do this and he doeth it.”

St. George’s Day : Nottingham, England

King Edward III, a Plantagenet king made St. George the patron saint of England 1327 but the St. George’s Cross had been flown for England centuries before that.

Today St. George is the Patron Saint of Political Incorrectness and his day excluded from Right Think organisations like City Councils. The St. George’s Flag is regarded by the Marxist state and England’s Commissars as a symbol of ‘Islamophobia’ and opposition to UK the ‘diversity is our strength’ Party Line.

These days, Bristol City Council is too multi-cultural to celebrate the national patron saint on his day ,

As one might expect, attempts to rehabilitate St. George and re-brand England’s flag as  Marxist symbosl of multi-cultural unity tend to wind up in “a colorful celebration”  Under the Red Cross Flag:  “whoever we are, wherever we’re from, whatever our faith or none, we can all be England”. Like South Africa “ours too has the capacity to become a rainbow nation”.   England’s football equality and inclusion campaign : “I am England” features the hijab and bobble-hat side by side in the stands, jerk chicken and pork pies. Pride without prejudice” – an England for all is the idea they are here attempting to enforce. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/apr/23/st-georges-day-i-am-england

A crash of diversities and by any other name would still pile in the same heap and  blow the same smoke.

No matter what kind of acceptable spin England’s Commissars try to put on the St. George’s Cross, they look like the England haters and Communists they are.  During the 2018 FIFA World Cup , the English pub chain Wetherspoons went full St. George’s retard and PC meltdown, banning England’s flag from all 800 pubs.

The outrage of the English fans [ read Soccer Yobs ] reduced Wetherspoons  to the enforcement of their official ‘World Cup bunting’ rules.  All pubs had to display at the bars and in the windows  a committee approved bunting  of all national flags in honour of  the 2018 World Cup contenders.  It was pointed out to the English fans who were strident and vulgar in their disapproval of the ‘bunting’ that the St. George’s Cross was  in there somewhere.  Bottom line, Fans wearing England shirts (with the St. George’s Cross) or displaying the flag would not be served at Wetherspoons.  Franchises not on message with the ‘bunting’  were fined. And the insulted English invented many comical uses for the official bunting that were uploaded to social media – for which they were also fined.

The City Councils that had not been able to find Pakistani rape and grrooming gangs operating across the North and targeting English school girls for over a decade proved more than able to find English displaying the St. George’s Cross.  Barrow-in-Furness Cumbria declared it to be Haram and ‘a motoring hazard’.  Taxi drivers were fined  for England’s flag displays throughout the World Cup Final. https://www.thesun.co.uk/world-cup-2018/6553177/now-wetherspoons-bans-staff-from-putting-up-st-george-flags-during-world-cup-in-pc-meltdown/

Adding  to these woes,  England does not even get a day off from usury as St. George’s Day is not a bank holiday.  Therein lies the rub. A sign that the Dragons of Seir are at present getting the best of the Apocalyptic battle.

The Dragon

I tend to disagree with the idea that St. George is a myth.  To the modern mind, the dragon element of St. George’s life story places him in the ‘myths and legends’ category.  The dragons of Seir, the dragons of The City, however, are certainly in evidence and tend  more in ‘world domination’ category.  They  have devoured Little England, the native English on their ancestral land.  

So, for our time and in the Grander Scheme of Things,  the national saint of Albion and Victory Bearer would seem to have received a new portfolio :  the portfolio for English political incorrectness.  He is banned on Facebook and Twitter. He still has the right set of enemies.
