Salvete Omnes,
as Spring progresses this Wednesday is the Feast Day of Saint George (in Polish Catholic calendar tomorrow, since today is Saint Wojciech/Adalbertus Day) .
Famous and legendary for his fight with the Dragon, the epitome of Evil and Darkness in the Christian tradition. St. George was the patron saint of the chivalry, soldiers and also the scouting movement (harcerstwo in Polish).
We will commemorate it with two paintings from the Greek Cretan School (under the Venetian rule) from Heraklion, Crete.
One from the XV century - Angelos Akotandos
and the second from the XVI century Georgios Klontzas.
