As far as I (or the Genoa, it:Genova, or it:San Giorgio pages) know, George's popular but not one of the patrons of Genoa. Their patron is only it:San Giovanni Battista. -LlywelynII (talk) 22:01, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

@LlywelynII: From David Jaffé; et al. (2005), Rubens: A Master in the Making, London: National Gallery Company, p. 83 {{citation}}: Explicit use of et al. in: |author= (help), discussing this painting: "The picture may have been first intended for the church of Sant'Ambrogio in Genoa, which was dedicated to Saint George, who was patron saint of the city." I don't know whether the "was" is significant or not.

Patron saint and other link targets

Does this concern the lead target jus patronatus? That article does not mention "Saint".

Does this concern patronage? That article mentions "Saint" once in its short Ecclesiastical section.

If a Patronage of Saint George is jus patronatus or patronage metaphorically, more should be said here or in that article(s). Maybe we have no better target than patron saint. --P64 (talk) 18:40, 13 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Source for St George's Patronage of Shepherds in Russia and Bulgaria

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello,

I am new user and unsure of the protocol. This article claims that St George lends his patronage to shepherds, citing p. 300 of A.P. Vlasto's The Entry of the Slavs in Christendom. Unfortunately, this book does not mention St George's patronages at all, and definitely does not do so on p. 300.

Do I simply delete the erroneous citation?

Thank you in advance

Richard of Aquitaine

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I saw on a television program, probably on the History Channel, that St. George was the patron saint of Aquitaine, as well as of soldiers, and that Richard Coeur de Lion felt more at home in Aquitaine than in England, and felt himself first and foremost a soldier, and was responsible for St. George becoming more popular in England.

Before that, the traditional patron saints of England were the Saints Edward. J S Ayer (talk) 04:52, 19 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
