This stunning hand-painted icon depicts Saint George, the beloved Great Martyr and victorious soldier-saint of the Orthodox Church. Rendered in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on hand-carved, asymmetrical natural wood.
Saint George is most often shown riding a white horse, slaying a dragon—a symbol of his triumph over evil and idolatry. A Roman officer and devout Christian, he was martyred for refusing to renounce his faith during the persecutions under Emperor Diocletian. He is venerated worldwide as a protector, miracle-worker, and patron of soldiers, farmers, and many nations.
