The mosaic adorning St. George Coptic Orthodox church portrays another iconic scene - St. George fearlessly slaying a fearsome dragon. This artwork reminds us of humanity's eternal struggle against evil forces that threaten peace and harmony. Indonesia boasts one of the largest living lizard species - Komodo Dragons from Komodo Island. These formidable predators command respect as they dominate their natural habitat with sheer strength and cunning intelligence. Europe too has embraced dragons within its cultural heritage. The statue capturing St. George triumphantly defeating a menacing dragon stands tall in Market Square, Marburg, Germany - reminding all who pass by of bravery prevailing over adversity. Not only do these mythical beasts inspire legends but also make appearances in popular culture such as LA Tarasque Polka or Medea and the Fleece – further cementing their status as timeless symbols woven into human creativity.
