St George is not - repeat NOT - the patron of Germany! We Germans only acknowledge St Michael the Archangel as our patron (so His late Majesty Emperor Wilhelm II on a window dedicated to my home church).

What is known today as St George's cross is originally the Saviour's flag; when shown as God's Lamb he always carries this flag to show that it isn't an ordinary animal.
