CHURCH BUILDING
Saint George’s Greek Orthodox Church
Lod (Lydda) · Greek Orthodox
A brief history
This Greek Orthodox shrine centres on a tomb traditionally associated with Saint George. Its present form dates to restoration in 1872.
Saints & traditions
The Patriarchate celebrates the transfer of George’s relics here, a feast distinct from the commemoration of his martyrdom.
Bible connections
Acts places Peter’s healing of Aeneas in Lydda; the passage concerns the town, not this later church.
