This St. George – 20cm statue stands approximately 24cm tall and depicts St. George on horseback slaying the dragon (demon).

The colors and actual dimensions of the St. George – 20cm statue may vary from the perspective and proportionality presented by your screen display and our photo editing.", "summary": "Although there is limited historical information about St. George, this warrior saint is believed to have been born in ancient Cappadocia, an area now part of Turkey. After his father's death in battle, he moved to Palestine with his mother, who came from a wealthy family and provided him with a good education. As a teenager, he joined the military and quickly rose to the rank of captain in the Roman army due to his zeal, dedication, courage, mastery, and tactical and military skills. These qualities led the emperor to appoint him as count of the province of Cappadocia. At 23, he became a Military Tribune at the imperial court in Nicomedia.

During this time, his mother passed away, and George inherited her substantial wealth, moving to Emperor Diocletian's court.

In 302, Emperor Diocletian issued an edict ordering the arrest of all Christian Roman soldiers and compelling all soldiers to swear oaths to Roman gods and make offerings. St. George confronted the emperor, presenting his objections and declaring himself a Christian in front of everyone. The emperor, not wanting to lose one of his best tribunes, tried to dissuade him with offers of land, money, titles, and slaves. However, facing George's unwavering stance, the emperor ordered him to be tortured to make him renounce his faith. But after each torture session, George reaffirmed his faith and devotion, gaining notoriety among the Romans. His willpower and faith became so distinct and renowned that even the emperor's wife converted to Christianity in the face of his suffering. Emperor Diocletian, seeing his efforts and will thwarted, ordered George beheaded on April 23, 303, in Nicomedia.

St. George's remains were transported to Lida, the city where he grew up with his mother. There, he was buried, and later, Emperor Constantine, a Christian emperor, commissioned a sumptuous oratory for all believers to pay homage and devotion to the warrior saint, helping to spread the legend of St. George." } ```
