San Jorge

Si San Jorge (; , Geṓrgios; ; namatay noong Abril 23, 303Acta Sanctorum Aprilis t. III (vol. 12), 101–165; Martyrology of Usuard (9th century).), tinatawag ding Jorge ng Lida (George of Lydda), ay isang sundalo na may pinagmulan na Griyegong Capadociano, kasapi ng Praetorian Guard para kay emperador Diocleciano, na pinatawan ng parusang kamatayan dahil sa pagtangging itakwil ang pananampalatayang Kristiyano. Naging isa siya sa pinakamimitagang mga santo at megalomartir sa Kristiyanismo, at sadyang minamintuho siya bilang santong militar mula noong Krusada.

Sa hagiograpiya (talambuhay ng mga santo), idinadakila si San Jorge, bilang isa sa Labing-apat na Banal na mga Katulong at isa sa tanyag na mga santong militar, sa alamat ng San Jorge at ang Dragon. Nakagisnang ipagdiwang ang kaniyang komemorasyon, Araw ni San Jorge, tuwing Abril 23.

Ang mga bansang Ethiopia, Inglatera, Georgia, at ang mga Awtonomong Komunidad ng Cataluña at Aragón sa Espanya, at ilan sa ibang mga bansang estado, lungsod, pamantasan, panungkulan, at samahan ay itinuturing na kanilang patron si San Jorge.
