The Great Martyr George is one of the most beloved Christian saints. In Russia, his reverence is known since the XI century. Since the XII century vmch. George was depicted as a serpent and called Pobiedonosets. The name of the martyr was changed to the Russian manner, honoring as Yegory, Yegor, Yuri. The princes honored the saint as the patron saint of warriors, and the peasants prayed to him for their livestock. Memory vmch. George is celebrated three times a year: November 16, December 9 and May 6. Day of repose, May 6, is called Yuryev\'s day and is celebrated with special solemnity.Vmch. George († 303) was a Roman military leader. In the years of the persecution of Emperor Diocletian against Christians, he declared himself a Christian and voluntarily underwent monstrous torment. But the Angel of God stood beside him and, as the life of a saint says, miraculously healed his wounds. George was imprisoned. Local residents began to bribe the guards and go to him with their needs. Somehow a poor pagan named Glykeria came. He asked to resurrect his only fallen ox. George regretted the peasant and resurrected the animal. Glikeria glorified Christ and soon died as a martyr. The miracle of the resurrection of the ox became the basis of the veneration of St. George as the patron saint of cattle.One night the Lord appeared to the martyr, put on his head a crown and announced the end of his earthly sufferings. The next day, George was chopped off. But the miracles of the saint continued. An innumerable number of times he came to help those in need of his protection. The most famous of his posthumous miracle was the deliverance from the snake of the Libyan princess Elizabeth.Near Beirut, a snake has settled in the lake, poisoning all life with a foul breath. On the advice of idols the inhabitants decided to sacrifice their children to the monster. The first was the turn of the princess. She was dressed in the best clothes and sent to be devoured. The princess was crying bitterly, awaiting a terrible death. But suddenly a young man appeared on a white horse with a spear in her hands and asked her why she was standing here and was waiting for death. Then the heavenly warrior christened the creeping serpent \"in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit\", pressed his throat to the ground with a spear and trampled his horse. But he did not. He told the princess to tie him up himself and take him to the city, so that the inhabitants would destroy him together.Since ancient times, the Orthodox Church interprets this miracle symbolically. Everything in the narrative has an inner spiritual meaning. The lake and the serpent means hell and the devil, the princess is the human soul, and the inhabitants of the city are unhappy sinners who voluntarily ruin it. Therefore, the princess of St. George: \"Why are you standing here and submissively expecting eternal torment? Fight and trust in God! \"The saint helps a person in the fight against sin, conquers, but does not destroy it. Man himself must overcome his sin and release his soul.Already in the XIV century there were icons, which depicted not the whole plot of the legend, but only vmch. George the Victorious, like a whirlwind striking a snake and hitting him in the jaws with a spear. From the heavenly segment in the corner he is blessed by the Divine right hand. Such an image as a symbol of the inevitable victory of good over evil, God over the forces of hell from the XVI century is included in the Russian coat of arms: shield with vmch. George protects the breast of the two-headed eagle. The same image of St. warrior from the XVI century was minted and on the money (from the \"spearman\" and the word \"kopeck\" occurred). Gold coins with the image of St. George was the first military award in Russia. Later the most honorable military award in Russia was the St. George Cross.A concise image of St. George the Victorious is also presented on the present guard medallion. The galloping rider is placed inside the ring, along which runs a wave-like ornament, emphasizing the dynamics of the whole image. Below the signature in the Church Slavonic language: \"The Miracle of St.. George about the serpent. \" On the back - a figure of a lion, woven into a floral ornament. In the Holy Scriptures, the lion is represented as a symbol of people who are distinguished by special power, power and power (Dan 7: 4), and the lion\'s roar is likened to the Divine word (Job 4, 10-11, Am 3, 4-8). Vegetable ornament is an ancient Christian symbol of paradise. In general, the reverse side is a figurative-symbolic interpretation of the face image.Every Christian, according to the words of the apostle Paul, is a warrior of invisible battle, who took up the arms of God to \"stand against the wiles of the devil\" (Ephesians 6, 11). And vmch. George Pobedonosets is an assistant and companion to man in this war. \"Fence the whole, Georgie, the weapon of the Cross, the hope of faith, the love of power,\" - written in a circle on the back.
