Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic Western and Eastern Rites, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox churches. He is immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. His memorial is celebrated on 23 April, and he is regarded as one of the most prominent military saints. This statue of Sant Jordi can be found in a niche when walking in the direction of the Monastir de Montserrat Church. Itôs a work of Josep Maria Subirachs, a Catalan sculptor and painter of the late 20th century. His best known work is probably the Passion Facade of the basilica of the Sagrada FamÃÂlia in Barcelona.
