George was a good Christian soldier in the Roman army. He was a special guard to the Emperor.

George was ordered to kill Christians but he would not do it. He told the emperor that he was wrong to order him to and that he was a Christian too.

The Emperor was very angry and ordered George to be killed. He died on 23 rd April.

Over a thousand years ago The King of England ordered that Saint George should be the special Saint for England.

Stories began to be told about Saint George. These stories were not true but some people believed them. Here is one story!

Once upon a time Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was a good king, and his little Princess, whom he loved dearly. The Princess was as sweet as a rose, she was kind and beautiful.

One day a dreadful thing happened to the king and his people. Through the gates of the city, came a huge, fierce and terrifying dragon!

Princess was fastened to the oak tree and there was the dragon close by ready to eat her.

St George and the dragon

There was a dragon, a dragon Who caused all kinds of grief. There was a dragon, a dragon A bully and a thief

He roared for food from the village The best young lambs for to slaughter And then one day he demanded To eat the King’s pretty daughter

There was a dragon, a dragon Who caused all kinds of grief. There was a dragon, a dragon A bully and a thief

Imagine the scene if you care to. The ground was covered in ash. The dragon lifted his giant head And gave a fiery gasp.

There was a dragon, a dragon Who caused all kinds of grief. There was a dragon, a dragon A bully and a thief

Then an armoured knight came a riding by, On a horse as white as the snow. A cross like blood on his shield. And a lance with a silver glow

There was a dragon, a dragon Who caused all kinds of grief. There was a dragon, a dragon A bully and a thief

The dragon moved to face St George Who turned his shield to the flames Plunged his lance to the dragons chest Whilst the blood was racing in his veins

There was a dragon, a dragon Who caused all kinds of grief. There was a dragon, a dragon A bully and a thief

The dragon fell with a terrible roar The maiden there and then did faint The village freed from the dragon’s reign And George he became a saint

There was a dragon, a dragon Who caused all kinds of grief. There was a dragon, a dragon A bully and a thief ( slow last part down)
