Frescoes from the Church of Agios Georgios Chostos in Filerimos, Rhodes. The Passion of Christ.
Saint John the Baptist with the Lamb. Pilgrim with his patron saint. Saint Michael kills the demon as the latter is trying to tip over the scales with the good and bad actions of a young knight who is kneeling before Saint Michael. A fountain with a snake and two pigeons, probably an allegory of “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” (Matthew 10:16).
