Holy New Martyr George the Tailor, Also Called Paizan, of Mytilene (+ 1693)

St. George the Paizan of Lesvos (Feast Day - February 14)

Verses

Who is this other George that exists again?
He was made a new martyr. O the bravery!

The Holy New Martyr George, who is also called Paizan, was born on the island of Lesvos, in the village of Plagia near the town of Plomari. He was a tailor by trade in Constantinople. For unknown reasons he was put to death in Constantinople on the 14th of February in 1693, because he refused to abandon his Orthodox Christian faith and submit to Islam.


Apolytikion in Plagal of the First Tone
The multitudes of Lesvos be glad and dance, for the all-luminous memory of the Neomartyr George, and honor the firm armed-soldier, who in difficult times contested staunchly, being victorious over beliar, and now in celestial places intercedes on behalf of the faithful who celebrate him.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
