A dragon makes its nest
At the freshwater spring
The only water source
The Dragon must be
lured away
Long enough to
collect water
So, they temp it
with a sheep
When no sheep can
be found,
Then a maiden is sacrificed
The victim chosen
by drawing lots
And one day it’s the
Princess.
The King begs for
her life
But his pleas fall
on deaf ears
So, she is offered
to the dragon
But George of
Lydda appeared
While on his epic travels
And he faces the
dragon,
After protecting
himself
With the sign of
the Cross
Slaying the
dragon,
And rescued the
princess
Then the citizens
of Silene
Abandoned their paganism
And converted to
Christianity
His feast day is April
23rd
