St. George and the Dragon.....

In 2009 the Dean and Chapter of St. George's Cathedral commissioned Marcus Canning and Christian de Vietri to create a contemporary sculpture using St. George and the Dragon as it's theme. They designed the very  dramatic and striking  ASCALON...the lance that St. George used to slay the dragon (The story ofAscalon).It was completed and installed in the grounds of the Cathedral in 2011.  The reason for this theme and choice of sculpture is to represent that age old belief that 'good always wins over evil'.. here's hoping.....!! Tomorrow I'll show you where I took this photo from and why it sometimes pays to look down as well as up when you're on the hunt for a picture.....Have a great Sunday.
