Description

St George and the dragon. The origins of the image where Saint Georgios fights the dragon can be traced back to the romantic ages. Its the time of knights and princesses and brave causes. Furthermore it can be traced and further back  to Cappadocia in Asia Minor. They even can be found deep to the collective subconscious where stories about the Hero still exist.

The name of the Saint is written with Greek characters.
