How often do we look at tattoos, admire the mastery of painting, as a work of art, but have no idea what they can mean.
Foreword
Many people paint ill-fated pussies, birds, fish on their bodies, simply write names and dates that are important to them (as if they’re afraid to forget them), or even stuff strange and meaningless squiggles and patterns for their beauty. But when George the Victorious flaunted on the shoulder, back, wrist or chest of a person in all greatness, this tattoo was definitely applied for a reason.
History
George the Victorious is known in many cultures. In Greek legends, in Latin and Oriental texts it is said about his exploits. It is believed that during the time of persecution, George asserted his right to be a Christian and was tortured for seven days. For this endurance, the Lord awarded him the gift of resurrecting and reviving the dead, as well as the ability to self-heal.
But the most famous miracle of the Great Martyr is the killing with a spear of a terrible dragon (or according to other legends of the serpent), ruining the earth and demanding the beautiful royal daughter to be torn to pieces. In Christianity, this legend is interpreted as the victory of Faith over Paganism (the princess symbolizes the Christian faith, and the pagan terrible dragon) or, according to other texts, the victory over the Devil-Tempter.

From time immemorial, they turned to George with prayers and requests for a good harvest, for rain, for good luck on the hunt, for the healing of all diseases, for the fertility and health of livestock. It is also believed that prayers and images help get rid of the invasion of snakes in villages and are able to stop the infectious diseases that destroy entire villages.
The image of the Great Martyr is not for nothing depicted on the icons, coins and flags of cities. This tells all Christians the power of their faith and its importance in life.
