Mylapra Valiyapalli Perunnal 2017
Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in Christianity who died as a Christian martyr for failing to recant his Christian faith. Eastern Orthodox depictions of Saint George slaying a dragon often include the image of a young woman who looks on from a distance. Saint George is said to have killed a dragon and the belief is like as follows: A town had a small lake with a plague-bearing dragon living in it and poisoning the countryside. To appease the dragon, the people fed it two sheep every day. When they ran out of sheep they started feeding it their children, chosen by lottery. One time the lot fell on the king's daughter. The king, in his grief, told the people they could have all his gold and silver and half of his kingdom if his daughter were spared; the people refused. The daughter was sent out to the lake, dressed as a bride, to be fed to the dragon.St. George by chance rode past the lake. The dragon emerged from the lake while the St. George and the princess were conversing. Saint George gave the Sign of the Cross, charged it on horseback with his lance, seriously wounding it. He then called to the princess to throw him her girdle, and he put it around the dragon's neck. When she did so, the dragon followed the girl like a meek beast on a leash. The princess and Saint George led the dragon back to the city of Silene, where it terrified the populace. Saint George offered to kill the dragon if they consented to become Christians and be baptised. St. George then killed the dragon, and the body was carted out of the city on four ox-carts.
