Description: Saint George the Victorious is one of the most revered saints, a martyr for the Christian faith. He is revered by both the Eastern and Western Christian churches. During the time of Emperor Diocletian, he was a soldier in the Roman Empire. George received the military title of tribune only at the age of 20, after he showed himself as a general. In 303, Diocletian issued an edict to persecute Christians throughout the empire. George was ordered to take part in the persecutions, but instead he revealed himself as a Christian and criticized the emperor's decision. The enraged Diocletian ordered George to be tortured and executed as a traitor. The relics of Saint George were buried in the Palestinian city of Lydda. Soon after, Christians began to venerate him as a martyr for the many miracles he performed after his death as a heavenly warrior and protector. St. George's Day /May 6/ is the day when St. George is celebrated with the consecration of the army flags and a military parade. The statuette is made precisely from polyresin with a metal coating and with attention to every detail. Dimensions of the statuette: h 29.5 cm.
