Wow, rough day for St. George.

– St George is put in Prison
– St George is Tortured on a Table
– St George is Tortured in a Cauldron
– St George is Tortured Tied to a Cross
– St George Survives Poison
– St George is Tortured Between Two Wheels
– St George is Tied between Two Posts and Sawn in Half
– St George is Dragged by Horses
– St George is Beheaded

Damn. Gotta work hard to be a megalo-martyr.

(I think the beheading is kind of redundant after the sawing in half thing, but hats off to the Romans for thoroughness.)
