Saint George Rides to Battle the Armored Beast of Wormingford

By G.P. Kemp and Earlene Gayle Escalona

A Dragon Versus Knight In A Battle To The Death

In an English legend not so well known, " Saint George Rides to Battle the Dragon of Wormingford" holds historical implications of importance. Although young people are obsessed with entertaining electronic media and the fantasy comic book of heroes in movies, authentic human heroes sacrificed themselves for others out of personal principles or religious beliefs on the battlefields of the world.
One cannot read a person's private thoughts until they are translated into behavior. Many real heroes like the original Saint George gave their lives to save Christian soldiers. Some men if studied reacted out of conditioning in a conflict situation, while others rationally decide they would die to save others. Self-sacrifice takes real courage.
Fortunately, some heroes do not die in battle, but rather conquered their fears and killed their inner-dragons. This tale of a knight's courage, therefore, has significance for religious and psychological reasons .We hope you enjoy examining them.

G.P. Kemp

G. P. Kemp grew up in Ohio appreciating both urban and rural living. His parents were poor but hard working folks. He had few friends, and most that were, didn't understand his obsession with books and the pursuit of knowledge. Content with their own simplistic thinking they would say to him," You think too much, man." He, nevertheless, was both ambitious and focused in wanting an academic career. On his own after leaving high school, he worked in factories and other jobs to survive. He lived on less than one meal a day through undergraduate and graduate school. Always trying to improve his body, mind, and spirit, he eventually became teacher. He evolved into an accomplished college professor and administrator. During those years, editors sought his art, film criticism, poetry, and essays for their journals. In his later years he has developed a strong interest in the esoteric, metaphysical, as well as Christian myth and legends. On every other level, he believes he is an ordinary guy enjoying the Creator's gift of life.

Praise the Lord upon the earth: ye dragons, and all deeps; Fire and hail, snow and vapors: wind and storm, fulfilling his word (Prayer Book [1662], 148:7).

Human beings are frail compared to other animals, but they admire heroic tales of courage in real life, literature, and art. Face it. We adore dragons; we are terrified by dragons. Because of this, we honor dragon slayers in many societies and cultures.

Flags, artworks, stained-glass windows, and pageants celebrate Saint George and the dragon. They exist almost everywhere, and the inquisitive wonder why. Although legendary dragons have prominence in Aragon, Catalonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Moscow, Istanbul, Genoa, and Venice, no people are intrigued by them more than the Brits fighting for England and Saint George.
