Sant Jordi raised his sword and stabbed the dragon, finally freeing the princess and the townspeople.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>A rosebush rose from the dragon&#039;s blood, the roses of which were a red like no one had ever seen. Sant Jordi, triumphant, picked a rose and offered it to the princess.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Sant Jordi was a Christian Roman soldier. For not having renounced his beliefs, he was martyred in the time of the Roman emperor Diocletian, around the year 303. One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/\">legends<\/a> attributed to Sant Jordi, which quickly became the most popular, explains that a dragon terrorized the inhabitants of a village. To calm him down, they had to give him a lamb and a young girl, chosen at random.<\/p>\n<p>One day bad luck fell on the king&#039;s daughter, who was brought before the dragon. Sant Jordi freed her in a miraculous way, killed the dragon and red roses sprang from the blood of the latter. The young girl, the king and all the people converted to Christianity.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Catalan kings often showed their devotion to Sant Jordi and asked for help to fight the infidels.
