Activity 1

Read the story of Saint George: 

Saint George and the Dragon

There was once a city called Silene. The people of Silene were not Christians but they were happy. Every day they drew water from a nearby spring and lived a simple life. One day, however, a dragon decided to make its nest by the spring and life became very difficult for them! Many men tried to fight the dragon but they all failed.
The people of Silene neede water so they thought of a plan. They would distract the dragon by taking him a sheep every day, for a meal. While he was busy eating, they quickly took the water they needed.
Everything worked fine for a while, but one day they didn't have any more sheep to offer the dragon! They became more and more thirsty and eventually, in desperation, they decided to take the dragon a young girl instead. They had problems to choose which young girl they would give it each day.
One day, Silene's princess was the chosen maiden! The king begged and begged: "not my daughter, please", but nobody listened and they took the princess to the dragon.
While the princess stood before the dragon, Saint George came on his horse. Seeing the pretty princess, he made the sign of the cross (to show he was a Christian), bravely fought the dragon and rescued the princess! The citizens were so impressed with him that they converted to Christianity.
