A fact from Feast of Saint George (Palestine) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 September 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,413 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The tomb of St. George is located in a church in Lod Israel (Lydda) the christian and muslim populations celebrate in november (the 23rd?). This is from first hand knowledge, can anyone back me up on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.244.63.215 (talk) 04:38, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The folktale clearly says that El Khader and Jirjis are different people, and El Khader is St. George, but the article's lead says that both are alternative names for St. George. Also, as the original source says, the feast already existed at the time of this story: "The feast of Mar Elias (El Khadr) came and the young men stood together making their vows. http://www.leicester-holyland.org.uk/TaleAlKhader.htm" Therefore this story is not about the "Origins" of the feast and the section heading is inappropriate. 173.174.85.204 (talk) 18:22, 5 May 2016 (UTC) Eric[reply]
