Victorious Cotton TeeThe tale of Saint George and the dragon is more than a story of bravery; It is a mirror held up to the human soul. The people of Silene, paralyzed by fear, sought to appease the evil that plagued them. They fed It their wealth, their sheep, their sons and daughters, until at last even the kings beloved child was to be devoured. Such is the nature of unchecked evil; when not faced, It demands more and more, growing bold with every concession. Saint

The tale of Saint George and the dragon is more than a story of bravery; It is a mirror held up to the human soul.
The people of Silene, paralyzed by fear, sought to appease the evil that plagued them. They fed It their wealth, their sheep, their sons and daughters, until at last even the king’s beloved child was to be devoured.
Such is the nature of unchecked evil; when not faced, It demands more and more, growing bold with every concession.

Saint George arrives not as a savior who simply slays, but as one who reminds us of the forgotten truth—that evil cannot be bargained with, only confronted.
His courage is not blind rage but a union of faith and action. By making the Sign of the Cross, he declares that the struggle is not merely physical but spiritual; by seizing the dragon, he reveals that what enslaves us is not unconquerable, but only empowered by our submission.

The dragon, once thought unstoppable, becomes meek when bound.
Evil appears monstrous only when we bow to It.
Faced with courage and clarity, its power withers, and the people are liberated not only from the beast, but from their own fear.

We must not appease what is destructive, nor surrender to the illusions of safety that fear offers.
Instead, one must face the dragon within and without—decisively, courageously, and with faith that truth and goodness are stronger than the shadow.

While in Russia, this icon and history struck something deep within me—I collected coins, patches and photos with different artistic versions of St. George.
I commissioned Anagit Tsaturyan to make a version that I could get printed on a shirt here in Bali for myself to wear around and her final product was flawless.
