Saint George the Victorious is one of the most honored holy men. He was named a patron of such different countries as Russia, England and Georgia, and this is not accidentally. (By the way, the official name of Georgia is the country of St. George.) Usually we associate his image only with the image of warrior, moreover - always victorious warrior. Certainly, he was such person, but first of all he was a victorious member of the host of Lord. Since the time of the tsar Ivan III, St. George was portrayed on Russian State Seal, and the shield with the image of St. George the Victorious became the emblem of Moscow. St. George is the symbol of victory over Evil; he is an embodiment of the ideal of Beauty, Purity and Perfection. |
