# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  George was a Cappadocian Greek who rose to the Praetorian Guard under Emperor Diocletian. When the Diocletianic Persecution began, he refused to recant his faith and was sentenced to death on 23 April 303. His martyrdom made him one of Christianity's most venerated figures, but it was the Crusades that elevated him to military saint. The legend of George and the Dragon immortalized him in hagiography, and his reach spread across continents. Countries from England to Ethiopia claimed him as patron, as did Moscow, Beirut, and regions across Europe. His relics are said to rest in a sarcophagus at the Church of Saint George in Lod, Israel, and his feast day on 23 April is still observed wherever his name took root.
