Holy Martyr George of Kratovo 2/24/2013
By origin, George was a Macedonian from the town of Kratovo. He was a silversmith by trade and, in his heart and soul, was a convinced and a devout Christian. George was eighteen years old when the Turks tried to convert him to Islam. George remained as firm as a diamond in his faith. The Turks tortured him with many cruel tortures and finally burned him at the stake. He suffered for the beautiful Faith of Christ on February 11, 1515 A.D. in Sofia, during the reign of Sultan Selim and was glorified with unfading glory in the heavens.
