Some information about the patron saint St George

Hello friends in Heron school!
Here is the information about St George. We have found it in the Internet.

Who was St. George, and what did he do to become England’s Patron Saint?
Very little is known about St. George’s life, but it is thought he was a high ranking officer in the Roman army who was killed in around AD 303. It seems that the Emperor Diocletian had St. George tortured to make him deny his faith in Christ. However despite some of the most terrible torture even for that time, St George showed incredible courage and faith and was finally beheaded in Palestine. Stories of his strength and courage soon spread throughout Europe.

The best-known story about St. George is his fight with a dragon, but it is highly unlikely that he ever fought a dragon, and even more unlikely that he ever visited England, however his name was known there as early as the eighth-century. In the Middle Ages the dragon was commonly used to represent the Devil. Unfortunately many legends connected with St. George’s name are fictitious. St. George, so the story goes, killed a dragon on the flat topped Dragon Hill in Uffington, Berkshire, and it is said that no grass grows where the dragon’s blood trickled down!

St George is patron saint not only of England but also of Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Gozo, Pomorie, Qormi, Lod and Moscow.
St George is also patron saint of scouts, soldiers, archers, cavalry, farmers and field workers.

Hello to our friends in Russia

Hello everyone!

We are the children in Year 6 at Heron primary School and this is our first week back after the summer holiday. We have just started in Year 6. In July we were still in Year 5.
We have met your tiger and we will be sending you messages about him.

This is the first time that we have been allowed to add messages from home. We have talked about the kind of things we should write. We have also had a talk to our teacher about good manners, accurate punctuation and editing our work.

If we make some mistakes we hope you don't mind too much. When we have written comments our teacher will check them for us.

We hope to get to know you all this year.

In England we are not allowed to put our names beside our photographs and that is a problem. If we put our initials then our teacher can send your teacher a list of names and you might be able to work it out.


Ok - we will write soon. Hope you enjoy writing to us.

Bye!
