Περιγραφη

Mount Athos weathered lithography (icon) of Saint George the Great Martyr in pine wood with carved decoration.

Saint George the Great Martyr was born in Nicomedia of Bithynia between the years 275 and 281 AD. His father Gerontius, a soldier by profession, came from Cappadocia. His mother's name was Polychronia and she was originally from Lydda of Palestine. George was raised in a Christian environment because his parents had been baptized Christians. At a young age, the Saint joined the ranks of the Roman army and distinguished for his bravery, as a result of which he soon became commander of the imperial guard.

When in 303 AD. Diocletian started the savage persecutions against the Christians, George refused to obey the orders. He openly confessed his Christian faith, as a result of which he suffered horrible tortures. But the Saint, with the help of God, remained unharmed from the tortures. Eventually, Diocletian ordered his death by beheading. The Orthodox Christian Church celebrates the memory of Saint George the Trophy-Bearer on April 23 of each year.
