Celebrate the victory of faith and the bold witness of Saint George with this beautifully crafted Byzantine Wooden Mounted Icon. Revered as the Great Martyr and often depicted triumphing over the dragon, Saint George remains one of the most beloved saints in Christian tradition. This powerful icon brings a sense of courage, devotion, and sacred beauty to a prayer corner, home, office, or parish setting.

Created on solid wood and hand-finished with care in Brooklyn, New York, this devotional piece features a high-quality printed sacred image applied with the decoupage technique. Its traditional style and vivid composition make it especially fitting for personal prayer, meaningful gift giving, and church bookstore collections.

Inspired by the Orthodox Byzantine tradition, this icon is made with reverence and respect for sacred imagery. For accuracy, it should be described as a handmade wooden mounted icon made with decoupage, not as an original hand-painted icon or hand-painted hagiographic artwork. A timeless expression of faith, this Saint George icon is a beautiful reminder of steadfastness, protection, and triumph through Christ.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the symbolic meaning of Saint George and the Dragon?
A: In Orthodox iconography, Saint George represents the triumph of the Christian faith over evil. He is shown on a white horse (purity) piercing a dragon with a spear. This imagery serves as a reminder of the spiritual warfare and the victory granted through Christ.

Q: Who is Saint George the Patron Saint of?
A: Saint George is the patron saint of soldiers, cavalry, and farmers—his name “Georgios” literally means “worker of the earth.” This wooden-mounted icon is a traditional gift for those in military service or those celebrating their Name Day on April 23rd.

Q: How is this icon handcrafted in Brooklyn?
A: Every icon is personally mounted on a solid wood panel in our Brooklyn studio. Combining my 20 years of experience as a Senior Designer with traditional mounting techniques, I ensure the image is perfectly aligned, treated with UV protection, and hand-finished for a lifetime of prayerful use.

Q: How should I display and care for this icon?
A: This icon is designed for a home prayer corner (Iconostasis) or a central wall display. To clean it, simply use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid water or cleaning chemicals, as the natural wood and hand-applied finish are best preserved in a stable, dry environment.

Q: Can I request a custom size for my favorite Saint, Lord, or Panagia for my home?
A: Yes! Since we manufacture every piece in our home-studio, we can accommodate custom prepaid requests to fit your specific home prayer corner (iconostasis) or wall display. Please email us at shop@cmtgraphics.com to discuss your custom project.
