ICON ST GEORGE (Tzanes)
This icon is a reproduction of a 17th century Cretan icon of St. George slaying the dragon. It is one of our “decorative” or “mute” icons — it is merely a reproduction of an image, as opposed to our “talking” icons, which display quotes from Scripture when touched.
Our icons are created for private use and display in churches and other places in SL. They should not be resold or adapted for resale. Their size and position can be modified. Copy and Transfer permissions depend upon the particular version of the icon purchased.
ABOUT THIS ICON
The original for this icon is the work of the iconographer Emmanuel Tzanes (also known as Buniales), who lived 1610-1690. A native of Crete, Tzanes moved to Venice and was a Greek Renaissance painter. The icon is now housed in the Church of San Salvatore, Chania, Crete. This icon is in the public domain. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:StGeorge-ETzanes.jpg

St. George is variously known as the Great-martyr, Victory-bearer, and Wonder Worker. A Roman soldier of Greek birth, he was a member of the Praetorian Guard for the Emperor Diocletian, and was sentenced to death for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. Known for a number of miracles, he is the patron saint of England and Georgia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George
