I was going to say "hey, bet that is from the Russian Orthodox Church" and go look at pic #185. There he is.

But I believe the colors are different. The cape is blue here, and he sits on a white horse. Purity, spirituality.

I have often wondered about St. George -- what he REALLY did to be remembered for always slaying a dragon. There has to be some truth to it in some fashion for it to stick throughout time like this. Kind of like Thor's legend.
