His background is very interesting and explains why he’s celebrated in so many countries. He is the national saint of Georgia (which has no fewer than 5 George crosses on its flag) tho the Georgian name for that country is something totally different.
And a patron saint as well of Greece, Russia, Lithuania, Portugal, Ethopia, Palestine and some Spanish provinces.
