St. George’s Living Presence

St. George is known as “The One Quick to Respond,” a title cherished in Coptic tradition for his readiness to help those in need. From his tomb in Ly CDA, where a church stands, to churches worldwide, tradition says prayers seeking his intercession often receive swift answers. Some say the Ethiopian Synaxarion recounts Christ’s promise to George: “Whosoever seeks Me through thy intercession, I will deliver him quickly from his tribulation.” This promise assures believers of his nearness in sickness, danger, or despair.

Some say countless stories in Coptic churches tell of healings and protections through George’s intercession, often linked to his relics or icons. His quick aid mirrors his earthly courage, making him a constant companion for those who seek Christ through his prayers. For Orthodox children, St. George’s love and strength shine as a guide to trust in Christ.
