Slaying dragons and rescuing damsels–all in a day's work for St. George of Cappadocia. We get his story from The Golden Legend by Jacobus de Voragine, the same place I found the story of St. Lucy! We also discover the flamboyant Sodoma, an artist I've never heard of! Apparently, this painting isn't always on display so it was great to find this hidden gem.
