Saint George Rides to Battle the Armored Beast of Wormingford

Book excerpt: 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.
