# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. George, Martyr (Apr 23) —
# SanctiM/04-23.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/04-23`) with no
# Nocturn 2/3 override, so this saint's own content is sourced from the
# Tridentine track exactly as for a pre-1955 saint (see memory
# vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints); simplex-feast
# single lesson, Lectio94.
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/04-23.txt, English/Sancti/04-23.txt.
# Data bug in the reference engine's own Latin file: the `[Lectio94]`
# section under `Latin/Sancti/04-23.txt` actually contains English
# prose, not Latin (same kind of transcription bug as `st-anicetus` in
# the pre-1955 pass — see memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints). This
# project's own Latin translation is used instead, marked `draft`; the
# English (the text genuinely present in the source, just filed under
# the wrong heading) is `verified`. No responsory given in the source.

        Martyr Georgius apud Orientáles sancti et gloriósi Archimártyris título appellátur. Sub
        Diocletiáno persecutóre, propter Christum, gloriósa morte occúbuit. Mox pace Ecclésiæ
        reddíta sub Constantíno, mártyris memória celebrári cœpit, et ecclésiæ sub ejus
        invocatióne exstrúctæ sunt Lyddæ in Palæstína et Constantinópoli. Inde ingens apud
        fidéles erga eum stúdium exórtum est, primum in ómnibus Oriéntis pártibus, deínde in
        Occidénte. Antíquitus, cum exércitus christiáni pugnatúri essent, sanctos Geórgium,
        Mauritium et Sebastiánum patrónos invocáre solébant. Jam olim in Anglia peculiári honóre
        sanctus mártyr Geórgius colebátur, quem Benedíctus décimus quartus Póntifex máximus
        totíus regni patrónum declarávit.

        The martyr George beareth among the Easterns the title of the holy and glorious
        Archmartyr. He suffered a glorious death, for Christ's sake, in the persecution under
        Diocletian. When peace was given to the Church soon after, under Constantine, the memory
        of the martyr began to be celebrated, and churches were built under his invocation at
        Lydda in Palestine and at Constantinople. For thenceforth an extraordinary enthusiasm with
        regard to him grew up among the faithful, first in all parts of the East, and afterwards
        in the West. Of old time, when Christian armies had been about to fight, they have been
        used to call as patrons upon holy George, Maurice, and Sebastian. There had been already
        special honour paid in England to the holy martyr George, and the supreme Pontiff Benedict
        XIV declared him the protector of the whole kingdom.
