George mfiadini

George (kwa Kigiriki: Γεώργιος, Geṓrgios, yaani Mkulima; kwa Kilatini: Georgius; 256/285 - 23 Aprili 303) alikuwa askari wa Dola la Roma ambaye inasemekana alifanya kazi kama afisa katika kikosi cha kumlinda kaisari Diocletian^[1].

Huyo alipoanza dhuluma dhidi ya Wakristo, Joji alikataa kuasi imani yake, akauawa huko Lydda (leo nchini Israeli)^[2].

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa sana na Wakristo wa madhehebu mengi kama mtakatifu^[3].

Hata katika vitabu vya Uislamu anatajwa kama nabii جرجس, Jiriyas (au Girgus)^[4].

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa tarehe 23 Aprili, siku ya kifodini chake^[5].
