George the Serbian

The holy, glorious, right-victorious martyr George the New (Свети Ђорђе Кратовац), also called George of Sofia , was a Serb from the town of Kratovo.
He was a goldsmith by trade and, in his heart and soul, was a convinced and a devout Christian. He was born in Kratovo and later moved to Sofia. George was eighteen years old when the Turks tried to convert him to Islam. George remained firm as a diamond in his faith. The Turks tortured him cruelly and then finally burned him at the stake. He suffered and was martyred for the faith of Christ on February 11 , 1515, in Sofia, Bulgaria, during the reign of Sultan Selim and was glorified with unfading glory in the heavens. A priest from the Serbian colony in Sofia, presbyter Peja wrote a Life of new martyr George from Kratovo . Saint George was glorified in both the Serbian and Bulgarian Churches. His feast days are February 11 and May 26 .
