Sfântul Mare Mucenic Gheorghe, purtătorul de biruință (23 aprilie), icoană pictată de Părintelui Arsenie Boca
Sfîntul Mucenic Gheorghe s-a născut în Capadocia, din părinţi creştini. A trăit în vremea împăratului Diocleţian (Secolul al IV-lea). Datorită vitejiei şi victoriilor sale, ajunge conducător de armată.
În anul 303, împăratul Diocleţian va începe lupta împotriva creştinilor. Au fost dărîmate lăcaşuri de cult, interzise adunările creştinilor, arse cărţile sfinte, iar c…ei ce refuzau să aducă jertfă zeilor erau ucişi. În faţa acestei situaţii, Sfîntul Gheorghe nu se fereşte să-şi mărturisească credinţa în Hristos, motiv pentru care va fi întemniţat. Va fi supus la diverse chinuri: loviri cu suliţa, tras pe roată, îngropat în var, lespezi de piatră puse pe piept etc., dar nici o tortură nu l-a făcut să renunţe la credinţa sa.
