St. Ambrose commenting on The Feast of St. George “The Dragon Slayer”: “George, the most Faithful Soldier of Jesus Christ, when as Religion was elsewhere dissembled, adventur’d boldly to confess the Name of God, to whom it pleased the Lord to give so much of Heavenly Grace, that he not only scorn’d the Tyrants, but contemned their Torments,” (Quoted by Thomas Salmon in his work “A New Historical Account of St. George for England, and the Original of the Most Noble Order of the Garter: Illustrated with Cutts”, who himself  cites a work “Liber Præfationum”)
