Saint George Orthodox Icons

Saint George Orthodox icons are traditional icons of the Great Martyr George, often shown on a white horse piercing the dragon. In this catalog you can buy hand-painted Saint George icons made in the Mstyora icon-painting tradition: prepared wooden boards, gesso ground, egg tempera, mineral pigments, gold leaf, and careful canonical drawing.

Saint George icons are often chosen for home prayer, patron saint gifts, baptisms, military service members, rescue workers, people named George, Yuri, or Egor, churches, chapels, and custom icon orders. We offer ready catalog works and can also paint the icon in an individual size and decorative style.

How to choose a Saint George Orthodox icon
For a personal icon or baptism gift, sizes such as 17×21 cm or 20×24 cm may be practical. For the mounted composition with the dragon, 27×31 cm or 30×40 cm gives the scene more space and clarity. For a church, chapel, or iconostasis, a larger custom size and a protective kiot may be more appropriate.
