Key points about Saint George’s Day in the East
- Date and calendars: In many Eastern Christian traditions, Saint George’s feast is observed on May 6. Some jurisdictions also celebrate on April 23 (the traditional Western date) or move the date relative to Easter/Pascha if the liturgical calendar requires, so that the commemorations fit within the appropriate liturgical season.[5][10]
- Common practices: Eastern churches often honor Saint George as a Great Martyr with processions, liturgical hymns, and specific intercessions attributed to him, sometimes linking his veneration to protection from various perils and to healing, depending on local tradition.[2][5]
- Regional variations: Georgia, Bulgaria, Greece, and nearby patriarchates have distinctive calendars and feast days for Saint George; Bulgaria, for example, broadly observes May 6 as the Saint George’s Day in the Eastern tradition, with other local customs attached.[4][10]

In Mosul, northern Iraq, St. George's Monastery was destroyed in November 2014 by ISIS militants.
