He is also pretty famous in Catalonia, where it's tradition to give roses to women (kinda like in valentine's) and books to men.

Horus and Saint George Iconographical Comparison In a legend, Saint George—a soldier venerated later in Christianity—originally saves a princess by defeating a dragon. He rides a horse and slays a dragon with a spear. The narrative was first set in Cappadocia in the earliest sources of the 11th and 12th centuries, but transferred to Libya in the 13th-century Golden Legend. "The Contendings of Horus and Seth" is a mythological story from the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt found in the first sixteen pages of the Chester Beatty Papyri (📸 5-6) and deals with the battles between Horus and Seth to determine who will succeed Osiris as king. Horus sails on a boat and defeats Seth with a spear. Seth’s boat had sunk prior and thus he transformed into a hippopotamus, to scuttle Horus’s boat. 📸 2.

Today all of Australia rejoices as we celebrate the Icon of the Most Holy Lady and Virgin Theotokos of Yellow Rock, the Kitrinopetritissa. The holy Icon rests at Saint George Monastery in Yellow Rock, Springwood.

In the picture, you can see a rare Russian icon painted circa 1800. Its rarity lies in the figures it depicts. The thing is that an anonymous icon painter depicted Saint George, the Archangel Michael, the Prophet Elijah, and Saint Tryphon, all in one icon, which was not usual for the iconography of the period. Each figure bears a considerable historical and religious significance, though the connection between the four is open to interpretation.

🔥 TRANSFORMATIONS OF PERKŪNAS • I came across an interesting article today called ‘Transformations of the Lithuanian God Perkūnas’ by NIJOLĖ LAURINKIENĖ. This paper further illustrates the subject of the relationship between PERKŪNAS and Saint George that I talked about in an earlier post about the holiday JORĖ. You can read the article here:
