The Orthodox Church on May 6 or April 23, according to the old style, celebrates the day of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious. This Saint was born into a wealthy family in the city of Beirut, which was formerly called Berit. His parents were pious people. The child was brought up in the Christian faith from childhood.

The Earthly Life of the Saint

Already in childhood, a terrible grief befell the family of George. His father, the commander of Cappadocia, was tortured by the pagans for confessing the faith of Christ. After that, the mother, along with her son, moved to her parents, who were owners of vast estates in the immediate vicinity of the city of Lydda in Palestine.

George was a capable child and received an excellent education, after which he decided to enter the military service. At the age of twenty, he was appointed commander of the illustrious cohort of invictiors. During the period of military battles with the Persians, the emperor himself noticed a brave young man, for which he was appointed a committee - close to the emperor Diocletian.

Diocletian's reign falls between 284 and 305. This ruler was a fanatical paganist. He is known for having organized terrible persecutions of Christians. Once George witnessed a terrible verdict at the trial, which was associated with the extermination of many Christians. His heart was filled with compassion. Realizing that he was also threatened with suffering for his faith, he himself came to Diocletian and confessed that he was a Christian. So that his property would not go to the pagans, he first distributed his property to the poor and gave freedom to his slaves. Appearing before the emperor, George accused him of injustice and cruelty. The speech of the fearless warrior was filled with objections to the order, which ordered the persecution of Christians, and they were very convincing.

Immediately George was imprisoned. The most terrible tortures were applied to him in order to force him to renounce Christ. But all the sophisticated efforts of the emperor were in vain. George prayed and glorified the Lord.

Did not renounce the faith on his deathbed

The legend says that once, after another torture by wheeling, all the witnesses recognized George as dead. But suddenly a thunder rang out from heaven and a voice of support sounded. Healed by the Angel of God, George opened his eyes and got off the wheel himself, continuing to glorify God. Thanks to this miracle, many pagans wanted to accept Christianity, including Empress Alexandra herself, and many close to the emperor.



George still had to endure great torment, but it was not possible to break him. After some time, the emperor ordered the execution of a Christian. At first, he wanted to sacrifice him in the temple of Apollo. But George turned to the statue of Apollo, how dare he and all the idols remain in this place when a true servant of God came here. After these words, the pagan temple began to collapse in front of many witnesses. Frightened, ardent pagans demanded that the emperor urgently execute George. He was brought to the chopping block. There he asked to be released from the shackles and began to pray. After that, George himself laid his head on the chopping block.

The soul of the Holy Great Martyr for the fact that he defeated his tormentors, the Angels took to Heaven, his body was buried in Lydda.

Orthodox prayers to St. George the Victorious are in great demand among believers. According to church traditions, this Saint always protects weak people. According to legend, it was George the Victorious who was sent by God to help people in order to save them from a terrible sacrifice. They had to give their children to be eaten by a terrible serpent. Saint George saved people from such a terrible fate by slaying the serpent with a spear.

History of George the Victorious

He was an outstanding warrior for his intelligence, beauty, dexterity and courage, basking in the rays of glory. The ruler of the country was a fanatical adherent of paganism, who believed that Christians should be exterminated. Knowing his future fate, because he was not going to renounce his God, the saint gave all his wealth to the needy and prepared to accept his fate. George remained faithful to the teachings of Christ, despite the torture of the emperor Nicomedia, to which he was subjected for seven whole days. On the first day, the spear with which they tried to push George into the dungeon broke in two with ease, like a straw. Then the enraged pagans tied him to the pillars, placing a heavy stone on his chest. On the second day, the saint was tortured with a wheel studded with knives and swords. Emperor Diocletian had already considered that the staunch martyr had died, but Gregory, seeing the angel who appeared to him, greeted him like a warrior. Finding that he was alive, he was removed from the wheel and all wounds miraculously healed. It is this event that is remembered on November 23 as a memory of the divine grace that descended on George and on anyone who will be a faithful servant of God. However, the torments of the saint did not end there: they left him in a pit full of caustic lime, crushed the bones of his arms and legs, drove needles under his nails, knocked out his teeth, burned his hair on his head, forced him to run in white-hot iron boots full of sharp nails, flogged with whips until the skin peeled off from the back, they were forced to drink drugs that deprive the mind and life. But God, for his steadfastness and courage, averted all troubles, and George remained alive and unharmed, subsequently performing miracles that converted many to Christianity.

Enraged, Diocletian last offered to pray and offer sacrifice to the pagan gods, having been refused, he imposed the death penalty. In a dream, the Savior appeared to George with a shining golden crown on his head, and said that the path to Paradise was prepared for him. On the appointed day, George asked to be taken to the temple of Apollo, and there, having overshadowed himself and the idols with the banner of the cross, he released the fallen angels from them. All the idols of the temple turned to dust. Seeing this, Empress Alexandra of Rome agreed to accept martyrdom along with the saint, having established herself in Christ. After praying, the martyr calmly and with dignity accepted the execution.

Image of George the Victorious

The saint himself became a symbol of the indispensable victory of Good over Evil in a spiritual battle. Therefore, one of the most common among the numerous icon-painting images of George the Victorious is the one where he, on a white horse, pierces the terrible Serpent with a long spear. And after his death, the saint worked miracles, protecting people. There is a legend according to which a monster, the Serpent, appeared in the hometown of the great martyr, Beirut, demanding young men and women as sacrifices. The inhabitants of the city tied up the unfortunate and sent the monster to be eaten. One day it was the turn of the beautiful daughter of the ruler. In fear, the girl was waiting for her sad fate, when suddenly a beautiful young man on a bright horse struck the Serpent with a spear. The Great Martyr George was the Savior. Since then, the extermination of girls and boys in Beirut has ceased, and all the inhabitants of that land believed in Christ, seeing the power of the true God and true faith.

By doing our work, we know that it will be paid - we will receive the due salary, and if we perform our duties well, perhaps ours will be marked with a bonus. For children, the incentive to complete a task is the praise of adults or a good mark at school. But there are a number of cases when, in addition to professional skills, you also need a mood to win. This primarily applies to sports. The most well-prepared athlete for the competition, in the absence of the mood to win, will not show any outstanding results. Therefore, now in sports they began to actively resort to the help of psychologists. These are professional psychologists who are familiar with sports specifics. In team sports (football, hockey), they set up a well-coordinated work of the entire team and work individually with each player to win the game. It is very hard to believe in luck after a series of defeats, or after a sports injury. In such cases, a strong prayer to win the competition will help you psychologically set yourself up. The Orthodox prayer for victory in sports is read not only by the athletes themselves, but also by all those who wish their team to win.

Miraculous prayer for victory in battle over enemies

In the history of Russia there are many cases when it was prayer for victory in battle and faith in God's intercession that changed the course of the battle. “God is with us,” they said in such cases, implying that it was God's help and protection that helped to win. With prayers, George the Victorious, Alexander Nevsky, Sergei Radonezhsky were asked to give courage before the battle. In naval battles prayer for victory read to Nicholas the Wonderworker, Andrew the First-Called. A real prayer for victory in the competition was asked for the preservation of life in battle, the saints were prayed for deliverance from captivity.

Christian Prayer for Victory in the Judgment of Evil

It is hard to live righteously, it is much easier to succumb to all the temptations that surround us. But time after time, succumbing to temptation, we become more and more mired in sin and further and further away from God. We can choose not to resist and succumb to the will of the evil forces that tempt us, or to stand firm against Satan and, armed with the weapon of God, resist sin. A good Orthodox prayer for victory over evil is one of the means to help strengthen faith, lead a righteous life and be saved.

The real text of the prayer for his victory to St. George the Victorious

Holy, glorious and all-praise Great Martyr George! Gathering in your temple and before your holy icon worshiping people, we pray to you, known for our intercession, pray with us and for us, praying from your goodness of God, may he graciously hear us asking for His goodness, and not leave all of ours for salvation and life needy petitions, and will grant our country a victory against the resistance; and again, falling down, we pray to you, victorious saint: strengthen the Orthodox army in battle with the grace given to you, destroy the forces of the rising enemies, let them be ashamed and put to shame, and let their audacity be crushed, and let them lead away, as we have Divine help, and to everyone, in sorrow and the circumstances of existence, powerfully reveal your intercession.

Meaning and Prayer Help

The saint lived during the reign of the pagan Diocletian. As a warrior, he publicly declared himself a Christian, not wanting to subject fellow believers to torture and persecution.

For his faith, he was martyred around the year 303.

After his death, a great many miracles were performed. The most famous of them is the victory over the monstrous serpent. In memory of this event, it is customary to depict the Victorious on images sitting astride a snow-white horse and striking a snake with a spear.

Once, while still alive, the saint destroyed the idols in the church by the power of his prayer. Therefore, the great martyr is considered the protector of people from evil and the intrigues of dark devilish forces. His holy face can be found in any Orthodox church, in the chapel of any military unit - he is a great symbol of protection, patronizing both military personnel and people in trouble.

Important! Before the image of St. George the Victorious, they pray for peace, for protection from attacks by enemies, for salvation from serious illnesses, for the granting of a long-awaited child.

How to correctly address the holy great martyr

Before you start praying to the Victorious, you should visit an Orthodox church, confess, take communion and ask the priest for a blessing for prayer work. The priest may inquire about what prompted the parishioner to intensify prayer.

No need to hide motives, no need to be shy. A cleric is a "guide" between a person and Christ. It turns out that when telling a cleric about his problems, a person involuntarily confesses them to the Almighty.

Usually the priest blesses to work prayerfully in the Name of Christ for 40 days.

  • Standing up for prayer, one should be a sincere supplicant with a humble heart. Requests for selfish desires are not appropriate. It is necessary to sincerely forgive all enemies and offenders and wish them health and peace.
  • Women must wear a headscarf or a thin scarf on their heads. The pectoral cross should be worn by every Christian, both a baby and a gray-haired old man. Having overshadowed yourself with the Sign of the Cross and offered thanksgiving prayers to God, it is necessary to begin a prayer to George the Victorious. It is not enough just to read the text, it is important to understand it, think about the sacred lines and feel that the prayer shield covers the petitioner from all adversity.
  • On the days of honoring the memory of the saint, it is recommended to order a prayer service in front of his icon in the temple, read the life and pray from the heart. Requests to the great martyr will safely help you survive the pain of losing a loved one, point the way to spiritual improvement, and help you cope with any difficulties.
  • To order a prayer service (if possible, with blessing of water), you must submit a note to the church shop and list the names of those for whom you need to pray. Names should be in the genitive case (they should answer the question “who?”). If a water-blessed prayer service is performed before the icon of the Victorious, then at the end of it, the consecrated water will be distributed to the parishioners. It must be drunk with prayer in the morning on an empty stomach.

Important! Saint George is numbered among the Saints as a great martyr who suffered for his faith in Christ the Savior. The day of memory of the saint is celebrated annually on November 23.

Prayer to George the Victorious for victory helps each of us in any struggle. According to legend, the Saint protects all the weak and innocent. He was sent by Jesus to the prayers of the people, to free them from the great scourge. People asked to save them from a terrible sacrifice, in which they had to give their children to be eaten by a formidable snake in order to appease him. And George came, and saved them from this fate, defeating the snake - slaying it with a spear.

Saint George was born into a noble and prosperous family. During his lifetime, he served and showed himself as an exemplary warrior. He was famous for his exceptional determination and sober mind. At the time of his life, Christianity was persecuted by the emperor, and was punishable. But in his heart he was faithful to the Christian faith and stood up for her defense.

Emperor Diocletian did not like the decisions that the warrior put forward, and he decided to subject him to torment. The warrior was thrown into a dungeon, where they were beaten with a whip, put on nails, and even tortured using quicklime. Having shown his fortitude, he endured all the tortures. Seeing this, the emperor ordered that he be beheaded. This act happened in 303.

Since then, the Great Martyr has been sung as a holy warrior and prayed to him in victory over his great enemy. Saying prayers to his image of the mother, whose children were called to the service, they ask for help and protection for their children. From obsessive fears, especially children's, not a single saint of God helps as much as St. George.

Veneration of the image

The miraculous image of the Great Martyr is depicted on horseback with a spear in his hand. St. George's Day is popularly called "Yuryev's Day" - November 26 (according to the old style).

Do not despise our prayer, but ask us from Christ our God a quiet and charitable life, health of mind and body, fertility of the earth, and abundance in everything, and may we not turn the good that you give us from the All-Merciful God into evil, but to the glory of the holy in His name and in glorification of your strong intercession, may He give our country and the entire God-loving army to overcome adversaries and strengthen it with unchanging peace and blessings.

Rather, let His holy angels protect us with His militia, in a hedgehog, deliver us, after our departure from this life, from the wiles of the evil one and his heavy air ordeals, and appear uncondemned to the Throne of the Lord of Glory. Hear us, passion-bearer of Christ George, and pray for us unceasingly to the Trinitarian Lord of all God, but by His grace and philanthropy, with your help and intercession, you will find mercy, with angels and archangels and all the saints at the right hand of the Just Judge, and I will take Him out to glorify with the Father and Holy Spirit, now and forever, and forever and ever.
