We know St George had faith in christ because he built a church in his name for his reward instead of getting money and more and he showed bravery because he knew God was with him and God would protect him

St George can inspire people as he was very brave to take on the dragon. George knew something was wrong because the dove appeared and we know that a white dove is a symbol for peace. The dove was warning George of a problem.
