Saint George the Great Martyr, on Horseback - Byzantine Icon

[Model: BYZ_st-2271]

Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint George the Great Martyr, on Horseback.

Saint George the Great Martyr came from Cappadocia and was a member of the Roman Army. He showed great boldness and courage and for this, he gained the attention of the Emperor Diocletian, but he could not escape the persecutions that Christians faced in those years. Saint George did not deny his faith and was sentenced to beheading.

His remains, together with that of his mother, were taken to Lod in Israel where he was buried. Eventually, the Crusaders took them to the West.

Saint George the Great Martyr is the patron saint of the Greek Army and England. From the 12th century onwards, he is usually depicted slaying the dragon, a depiction that carries many different approaches.
