Beautiful St George Medal - Patron of horseback riders, skin diseases, and England - Antique Reproduction
Description
According to the legend of St George, a dragon was terrorizing the countryside near Silena, Libya. The local people tried to appease the dragon by feeding it livestock of every kind. When this didn't work they decided to feed the dragon a young maiden, but George arrived in time to hear of their plan. He crossed himself and rode into battle against the creature, killing it with a single blow. He then gave a sermon and converted the local population to Christianity.
In reality St George was a Roman soldier born to a Christian family. He served the emperor Constantine, but when Constantine demanded that all his soldiers sacrifice to pagan gods, George refused. Constantine tried to change the young man's mind, but George held firm
and was martyred for his faith around the year 304.
This medal features a dramatic and beautiful portrayal of St George on horseback slaying the mighty dragon. The reverse shows a ship being tossed on the sea during a storm. The inscription reads "In Tempestate Securitas" which is Latin for "safety in storms". (St George was often called upon for help by sailors.) This medal is a reproduction of an antique medal in my personal collection. It shows all the wear of the original piece.
Size: Approximately 1 inch
Material: Sterling silver. Chains are also sterling silver.
UK buyers should be aware that orders totaling £15 or more may be subject to an additional 20% VAT and a £8 postal handling fee charged by the Royal Mail. I cannot legally undervalue your purchase to circumvent these charges.
