The Orthodox Icon Saint George is one of the most revered icons in Orthodoxy. St. George is depicted as a warrior defeating evil in the form of a dragon.
Most icons depict St. George on a horse, striking a dragon with his spear. This image is based on the legend of how St. George saved the princess, who was going to be sacrificed to the dragon. The dragon on the icon symbolizes evil and heresy, which George defeats.
St. George is usually depicted in armor, which emphasizes his warlike character and readiness to fight for the faith. In his hand he has a spear with which he defeats the dragon. On some icons in the other hand of George may be a shield with a cross – a symbol of defense and faith.
The face of the Saint is usually depicted with a serious and resolute expression, emphasizing his unwavering faith and readiness to become a martyr for the sake of Christ.
