Life
Holy George the Confessor was bishop of Develtos and is commemorated on 28 February (new style), together with Cassian the Roman. He is unknown to the synaxaria; his name appears in codex Lavra Epsilon 152, f. 367a.
In the seventh century he struggled, as a bishop of the Church of Christ, against the Monothelite heretics and endured many trials from the Scythians for his steadfastness in right faith and piety.
