Our Ancient Word of Courage, Fair St. George: The Patron Saint of England In this 1928 print by renowned English artist Georges Scott (1873-1943), St. George, the revered patron saint of England, is depicted in a heroic moment as he slays the dragon. With his steed poised and ready, St. George charges forward, a determined look in his eyes and a sense of unwavering courage emanating from his every fiber. Despite the saint's youthful and almost effeminate appearance, there is no mistaking the martial prowess that radiates from this image. Clad in gleaming armor, St. George brandishes a lance and shield, both adorned with the cross of England. His halo glows above his head, a testament to his unwavering faith and merciless determination in the face of evil. The legend of St. George and the Dragon is one of the most enduring tales in English history. According to the story, St. George, a soldier in the Roman army, was sent to Libya to slay a dragon that had been terrorizing a town. After successfully vanquishing the beast, St. George was hailed as a hero and converted the townspeople to Christianity. This iconic image of St. George, with its rich history and timeless appeal, serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience that has defined the English people throughout the ages. Whether displayed in a home, office, or place of worship, this print is sure to inspire awe and admiration for generations to come.
