St George the Victory-bearer medallion

The saint on horseback, trampling the serpent.

Orthodox Christians pray to St George for courage for those in military service, for the freeing of captives, for help for the poor and healing of the sick. In Russia they pray to him for herds, fields and farms. The medallion shows him slaying the dragon, with Slavonic lettering.

Why this saint

George was born in Cappadocia and became a gifted officer in the Roman army. When Diocletian began his great persecution, George gave his wealth to the poor, freed his servants and confessed Christ before the Senate. He was broken on a wheel of blades, and an angel raised him up whole, saying “Rejoice!” Many who saw it believed. From prison he told the farmer Glycerius that God would restore his dead ox, and it came back to life. Near Beirut he slew a serpent that was devouring the people, and the whole city turned to Christ. He was beheaded around 303.
