This wonderful serigraphy canvas icon has been crafted on solid natural wood and it was carved by hand. The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of Byzantine iconography.

Saint George was born circa 280 in Cappadocia, an area that is now part of Turkey. Emperor Diocletian executed St. George circa April 23, 303, in Lydda (modern-day Lod), Palestine, for protesting Diocletian’s persecution of Christians. Circa 322, George was written about by Eusebius of Caesarea. He was made known to England by Arculphus and Adamnan in the early 700s. He was made patron saint of England in 1098, after appearing to soldiers at the Battle of Antioch.

The Church celebrates the memory of Saint George on April 23rd.
