In his youth, George displayed an unusual gentleness. One day, a wild bear attacked his herd. Instead of fleeing, the young George, unarmed, approached the beast, speaking to it calmly. The bear, surprisingly, lowered its head and submitted to his touch. The event was seen as a sign of his future spiritual life.

Venerable George of Cernica, pray for us, that God may work through us!
