Saint George is the young warrior on horseback declared as the ideal hero by Orthodox Christianity.
Saint George led a military life and thus he is considered the patron saint of the Infantry in both the Hellenic and Cyprus Army, while he is also the patron saint of England.
By Royal Decree issued in 1864, the Hellenic State designated the War Flags to bear the image of St. George, while another Royal Decree issued in 1953, April 23 – the day that Saint George was martyred – was set as a celebration of the Infantry and the rest of the Arms and Corps of the Army, except the Artillery.
