St. George Sword

Saint George became an officer in the Roman army in the Guard of Diocletian, who ordered his death for failing to recant his Christian faith. Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic Church and in other Churches. He is immortalized in the myth of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. The episode of St. George and the Dragon was a legend brought back with the Crusaders and retold with the courtly appurtenances belonging to the genre of Romance.

The coat of arms and banner attributed to St George take the form of a red cross on white or silver, known as St George's Cross. St George is most commonly depicted in early icons, mosaics, wearing armour contemporary with the depiction, executed in gilding and silver colour, intended to identify him as a Roman soldier.
