I've seen this picture elsewhere. It is impressive with religious connotations I think. It speak to a valiant one piercing the heart of a serpent been pushed to the ground under the hooves of the mount.
Assn9 - it seems very many are very fond of Saint George. For good reason I reckon, from an archetypical perspective. There must be a common thread in Saint George, and I love in a way all the different stories told about his gallantry. Some of the remembrance is mutually exclusive, but it doesn’t matter. No getting to the bottom of it I suppose, but it is known he died rather than rebuke or refute his principle or his faith. They went hand-n-hand.
Assn9 - I’m not sure Saint George is the “patron” saint of Russia. [Link]
He maybe for England, but England was jumping on the bandwagon, and really there are many saints to revere, but not all of em I reckon. I respect anyone killing a serpent for the sake of innocence. I do not respect the UK or the EU. I admonish both of them entities and want them diminished permanently in a way. Spear to the neck for the lovers of usury born from mammon. Saint George gets the kill, and we all applaud the death of the serpent.
Animanarchy - another saint that I read "Russia" is fond off (as well as others I'm sure) is Saint Olga. Here is a link for her: [Link]
I'm not a fan of "bible thumping", but you have saints and you have more saints and Saint Olga is somebody I suspect I would enjoy hanging out with.......other saints I suspect their pontificating and/or proselytizing ways would get on everybody's last nerve - who needs somebody who pontificates all the freaking time nor somebody who wants to tell you what to believe? Not I.
Saint Olga, if history told accurately was not to be trifled with.
lilies - I think the spear is both spiritual and physical and when the mount keeps running the spear gets pulled out and that is what kills the serpent by virtue of damage inflicted assuming Saint George circles back and cuts the tail emanating from the cave. That means: portal closed. Portals of harm got no purpose in the long run.
Respect is deserved. I respect the dragon killer Saint George, and I respect Russia and the Russian People. BK
Nice. Before moving into an old age home my grandma had a ceramic statue like this that she kept on display in a glass cabinet with others (she loves ornaments) and that one was always my favourite.
lol somehow I must have made a typo and age originally turned to hag. Couldn't help but laugh about that in general. (Doesn't apply to my Grandma though )
Very beautiful and deserving respect.
Thanks.
