About this product
Art. : 014-12-258

St. George is the patron saint of the army. The image of St. George on horseback symbolizes victory over the devil— the "ancient serpent." This image was included in the ancient coat of arms of the city of Moscow. The Great Martyr George was the son of rich and pious parents who raised him in the Christian faith. He was born in the city of Beirut (in ancient times — Belit), at the foot of the Lebanese Mountains. Having entered military service, the Great Martyr George stood out among other soldiers for his intelligence, bravery, physical strength, military bearing and beauty. Having soon reached the rank of commander of thousands, St. George became a favorite of Emperor Diocletian. Diocletian was a talented ruler, but a fanatical follower of the Roman gods. Having set himself the goal of reviving the dying paganism in the Roman Empire, he went down in history as one of the most brutal persecutors of Christians. Having once heard in court the inhuman verdict of the extermination of Christians, St. George was inflamed with compassion for them. Anticipating that suffering awaited him too, George distributed his possessions to the poor, set his slaves free, went to Diocletian and, declaring himself a Christian, denounced him of cruelty and injustice. St. George's speech was full of strong and convincing objections to the imperial order to persecute Christians. After fruitless persuasions to renounce Christ, the emperor ordered the saint to be subjected to various tortures. St. George was imprisoned, where he was laid with his back to the ground, his feet were put in stocks, and a heavy stone was placed on his chest. But St. George courageously endured suffering and glorified the Lord. Then George's tormentors began to become more sophisticated in cruelty. They beat the saint with ox veins, charioted him, threw him into quicklime, and forced him to run in boots with sharp nails inside. The Holy martyr endured everything patiently. In the end, the emperor ordered the saint's head to be cut off with a sword. So the holy sufferer departed to Christ in Nicomedia in 303. The Great Martyr George is also called the Victorious for his courage and spiritual victory over the tormentors who could not force him to renounce Christianity, as well as for his miraculous help to people in danger. The relics of St. George the Victorious were laid in the Palestinian city of Lida, in the temple bearing his name, and his head was kept in Rome in a temple also dedicated to him. On the icons, St. George is depicted sitting on a white horse and striking a serpent with a spear.

The Italian porcelain factory Porcellane Principe uses Neapolitan technology, which appeared in the middle of the XVIII century in Naples. The hands of talented craftsmen transform ordinary clay into animated works of art, and the filigree handwork and magnificent artistic taste arouse admiration and desire to purchase accessories. Porcellane Principe sculptors pass on the secrets of craftsmanship from generation to generation, so the traditions of Neapolitan porcelain techniques are enriched with modern techniques. The work of the company's sculptors and artists was greatly influenced by ancient art and the Renaissance era with its magnificent decor, refinement of forms, riot of colors, love of life and a positive attitude, so Italian porcelain accessories cheer up and make a smile on your face. Porcellane Principe porcelain products are a wonderful souvenir for lovers of beauty and grace who strive to surround themselves with only beautiful things.
