The «Saint George» T-shirt

Inspiration Motive

Saint George and the Dragon is one of the most famous legends in Christian and European folklore. It tells the story of Saint George, a Roman soldier and martyr, who slays a fearsome dragon to save a city — and often, a princess.

The story first appeared in its popular form in the "Golden Legend" (Legenda Aurea) by Jacobus de Voragine in the 13th century.

It's likely a Christianized version of older pagan myths, adapted to portray George as a symbol of faith and divine power.
