George

Holy New Martyr George was a Christian put to death for his faith in Christ around 1800, in Constantinople, under Ottoman rule.

The Greek synaxarion keeps no details of his life: it records only that he received the crown of martyrdom in the year 1800. He belongs to the new martyrs who confessed Christ after the fall of Constantinople, who are also commemorated together in their common synaxis.

His feast is kept on 21 March, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
