İsa in Chrıstianism and kept going Hz. Isa’s commands. Based on Taberî Tarihi and church resources we learn that he was born in Remle town in Palestin, spent his life on trading in Palestin and Damascus around, and was tortured to death by the emperor of the city Mosul. Saint Georges’s suffering life has left indelible impressions on Muslims, too.
