And when he reached the age of twenty -year-old mother died and left a good memory made him complements his persistent on the Christian faith and the time itself known George victories in wars, even the title of the "victory wearer" " or " victorious " or " triumphant " and when the Emperor Djokltians began to persecuted Christians and punish them and ordered forcing them to worship idols , and any one refuse his order must kill him on the spot. George went to the emperor angry and proclaim about his religious and zealously defended them and their beliefs , the Emperor try to dissuaded from his Christian faith promises picturesque and upgrade to the highest ranks and the bestowal of funds it , but he refused all this in urgency and prudent. The Emperor wrath of him and ordered to tortured him put him in dark prison , and bound his legs with ropes and put a huge stone on his chest and beat him with whips and bayonets until he lost consciousness and left him less land , but he was praying .
The next day they took him to the emperor , hoping to be torture makes him change his mind , appeared in front of the emperor bolder , intensity and toughness , and ordered to torment him by put on the wheel all the screws and then until tear his body and distort the face and shed blood of his body but he endured it patiently wondrous and heard a voice heavenly says : "Hey, George don't be afraid , I am with you."

Reversing the magician to faith and cited by the martyrdom of Saint Then Emperor cruelty and barbarism ordered making big wheel where the machete and hoops and swords sharp and ordered his soldiers to put Saint inside when he saw St. George this wheel horrible prayed to the Lord to save him from this harsh experience , they put him where crush his bones and scattering flesh and separated from members of his body from each other, so the Emperor say to the men of his council: Where is God now George ?
