A viewer asks: “Saint George seems to have an intriguing high level of popularity, being the Patron Saint of anything from entire countries, like Russia or England, to cities, towns, and even a small village of about 500 people near where I live. What is the real story of Saint George killing the “Dragon,” and why does he seem to be so important and influential in so many different places?”

At a surface level, this is a story that resonates almost universally in showing the little guy winning against the odds, to right a wrong and save the day. Everyone wants a leader and especially a Savior who can deal with and conquer evil, and succeed against all odds in ways they fear they are unable to accomplish. So a story having those ingredients will be widely embraced and resonate deep within. And because it is so in alignment with inner yearnings, will be held onto like a treasured sacred amulet, believed to have inner powers. At the level of reality, this was a story about a real event where a tyrannical ruler was confronted and, to save his life, St. George literally ended up killing the tyrant who, in actuality, was a Reptilian shape-shifter living as an imposter of that ruler. This was perceived intuitively, without full understanding of the implications, and became part of the legend. Even though it was an actual event, the full understanding was not available and that is why it is partially represented symbolically, in the slaying of the Dragon, because it could not be understood by people living in that era, just as today it would not be understood or accepted. Because of the deeper meaning, that humanity is under the control and rulership of extraterrestrial beings, including Reptilians, the story is supported and helped to spread by the divine realm as a warning and a caution for others, to find and plant a seed within them, because the Dragon symbolism does have a deeper meaning and implication. People need to be aware because humanity is being subjugated and ruled by extraterrestrial interlopers, running things from behind the scenes these days, for the most part, and a force to reckon with humans need to overcome with divine help. So the story of St. George and the Dragon is a fitting and iconic description of the human struggle in a very, very, real way.
