St. George the Victorious, a tattoo with his image

How often we look at tattoos, we admire the skill of painting, as a work of art, but we have absolutely no idea what they can designate.

Foreword

Many draw on their bodies of ill-fated pussies, birds, fish, just write important names and dates for them (as if they are afraid of forgetting them), or even fill up for the sake of beauty incomprehensible and meaningless scraps and patterns. But when on the shoulder, back, wrist or chest of a man flaunts in all the grandeur of George the Victorious, the tattoo was definitely done for a reason.

History

George Pobedonosets is known in many cultures. In the Greek legends, in the Latin and Eastern texts it is said about his exploits. It is believed that in times of persecution, George defended his right to be a Christian and he was tortured for seven days. For this endurance the Lord awarded him the gift to resurrect and revive the dead, and also the ability to self-heal. But the most famous miracle of the Great Martyr is the killing of a terrible dragon by the spear (or other legends of a serpent), ruining the earth and demanding the tsar's daughter to be torn to pieces by the beauty. In Christianity, this legend is interpreted as the victory of the Faith over Paganism (the Christian faith is symbolized by the princess, and the pagan terrible dragon) or, according to other texts, the victory over the Devil-Tempter.
