Saint George was originally a Roman soldier who was born in Turkey. He criticized the decision of Emperor Diocletian, who issued an order to prosecute Christians. He was tortured and executed for confessing to being a Christian himself.

The legend of St. George and the Dragon was brought by the Crusaders in the 11th century. It originally came from Cappadocia in Turkey.
