The Christian Martyr Saint George, much venerated by the Orthodox Church, was the major warrior saint whose protective

nation's Byzantine heritage. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Allegory Death historical reference Stephen St George war loans / savings | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
