The pendant with the image of the Great Martyr George the Victorious is made in the tradition of protective icons, which have been used by Christians since ancient times to protect them from evil forces. Great Martyr George is one of the most beloved Christian saints. He is considered the patron saint of warriors, and peasants prayed to him for their livestock. On the front side of the icon there is an iconographic image of the event that marked the victory of St. George the Victorious over the serpent, which poisons all living things with its breath. This event is nothing more than a symbol of man’s victory over his own sinfulness and the liberation of the soul with the help of God’s grace. The reverse side of the medallion is surrounded by the words of prayer to the Great Martyr George.
