Yes, St. George was real. He was a 3rd century Roman soldier in Palestine who refused a direct order to persecute and kill Christians. For George was tortured and beheaded about the year 304 at Lydda, Palestine. The part about George slaying a dragon is probably an exaggeration, however.
One common phrase associated with St. George before slaying the dragon is "In the name of God and St. George, I shall slay thee." This quote highlights the bravery and faith of St. George in his battle against the dragon.
St. George was a real person and a martyr of the early Church. However, some of the things he is purported to have done, such as slaying a dragon, are legends.
No one. Dragons aren't real.
NO! Of course the dragon wasn't St. George's. A dragon can be owned by no man. So if he claimed to HAVE a dragon, it must have been a fake. However, he did fight a dragon, which is a completely different matter...
St. George was real. He was an early Christian martyr. He was a soldier in the Roman army and refused a direct order to persecute and kill Christians. For this, he was tortured and beheaded. Some of his deeds are probably mythical or, at the very least, exaggerated. Dragons have never existed. Perhaps he did kill some animal that was threatening a town such as a crocodile, but it is unlikely he could have slayed a dragon.
The duration of St. George Shoots the Dragon is 2.5 hours.
The white dragon was the symbol of the englisc. Is it Norman propaganda that their saint slayed the white ( English ) dragon and that became our belief and heritage.
