This is a photograph of an old, weathered icon depicting Saint George on horseback slaying a dragon
MomentThis is a photograph of an old, weathered icon depicting Saint George on horseback slaying a dragon. The icon is painted on wood and has a gold background that is peeling in many places. The figure of Saint George is in the center, dressed in armor and a red cloak, with a spear raised to pierce the dragon. The horse is a light pink color, and it is trampling the dragon. There is some inscription in Greek letters above Saint George's head and below the horse. The icon is hanging on a wall made of rough, stacked stones. A red label with the number "2" in white is affixed to the bottom of the icon. Another label with the number "4" is partially visible to the right of the icon. This icon is located in the Bachkovo Monastery in Bachkovo, Bulgaria, a prominent Eastern Orthodox monastery situated in the Rhodope Mountains.
