In an authentic way, freed from the boundaries of concepts and words, it teaches us the attitude we should take in spiritual life. The icon at the same time is a road that should be followed…The icon is a living testimony to the origin and the fullness of man’s participation in the Divine Life.

 

This particular icon depicts one of the most celebrated martyrs in whole Christianity, St. George.
Born to a Christian noble family in Palestine in the time of the Roman Empire Diocletian, St. George served as a soldier in the army. He was promoted to the rank of Tribunus and stationed as an imperial guard of the Emperor at Nicomedia.

 

But soon Emperor Diocletian issued an edict that every Christian soldier in the army should be arrested and every other soldier should offer a sacrifice to the Pagan gods. St. George openly objected and with the courage of his faith loudly renounced the Emperor’s edict, and in front of his fellow soldiers and Tribunes he claimed himself to be a Christian and declared his worship of Jesus Christ.
