Birch icon "George the Victorious" in the kiosk

If we recall the saints most revered in Orthodox Christianity, the name of St. George the Victorious is one of the first to come to mind. As a rule, it is associated with great victories in battles against invaders who dared to encroach on Russian lands.

However, if we consider the image of the holy Great Martyr in a global context, it turns out that St. George is revered in many countries of the world. Moreover, he is revered not only in Christianity: for example, in Islam he is one of the most famous non-canonical figures.

It is difficult to overestimate the significance of the icon of St. George the Victorious – it strengthens faith, guides on the righteous path, avoids mistakes, banishes temptations, temptations and unholy thoughts, promotes sincere repentance and forgiveness of sins.
