The holy, glorious, right-victorious martyr '''George the New''' (Свети Ђорђе Кратовац), also called '''George of Sofia''', was a Serb from the town of Kratovo.
He was a goldsmith by trade and, in his heart and soul, was a convinced and a devout Christian. He was born in Kratovo and later moved to Sofia. George was eighteen years old when the Turks tried to convert him to Islam. George remained firm as a diamond in his faith. The Turks tortured him cruely and then finally burned him at the stake. He suffered and was [[martyr]]ed for the faith of Christ on [[February 11]], 1515, in Sofia, Bulgaria, during the reign of Sultan Selim and was glorified with unfading glory in the heavens. A [[priest]] from the Serbian colony in Sofia, [[presbyter]] Peja wrote a ''Life of new martyr George from Kratovo''. Saint George was glorified in both the Serbian and Bulgarian Churches. His feast days are [[February 11]] and [[March May 26]].
