George (kwa Kigiriki: Γεώργιος, Geṓrgios, yaani Mkulima; kwa Kilatini: Georgius; 256/285 - 23 Aprili 303) alikuwa askari wa Dola la Roma ambaye inasemekana alifanya kazi kama afisa katika kikosi cha kumlinda kaisari Diocletian[1].

Mchoro wa Hans von Kulmbach (1510 hivi).
Mt. George akiua joka (De Grey Hours, 1400 hivi)
Picha takatifu wa Urusi (karne ya 14), Novgorod.
Mchoro mdogo wa karne ya 13 katika kitabu Passio Sancti Georgii (Verona, Italia).

Huyo alipoanza dhuluma dhidi ya Wakristo, Joji alikataa kuasi imani yake, akauawa huko Lydda (leo nchini Israeli)[2].

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa sana na Wakristo wa madhehebu mengi kama mtakatifu[3].
