If you’re a scout, St. George is your guy. If you’re a farmer, he’s looking out for your crops. Feeling sick with the plague? He’s on call for that too.
He protects archers, armorers, and even butchers. Basically, if your job involves metal, animals, or fighting, George is your wingman.
Oh, and don’t forget the knights. He’s basically their CEO. But wait—there’s a funny one.
The Surprisingly Specific Patronage
St. George is the patron saint of people with syphilis. Yes, you read that right. Medieval medicine was wild.
He also looks after lepers. And get this: he’s the patron saint of horsemen, saddlers, and even boy scouts.
Imagining a troop of scouts riding horses while George gives a thumbs-up from heaven. It’s a beautiful, strange image.
