Mythical Charms

Large Dragon

Dragon; In Christian art, the Dragon is a symbol of sin. It is often depicted as being crushed under the feet of Saints & Martyrs, symbolizing the Triumph of Christianity over paganism. The ancient Greek & Romans believed that Dragons had the ability to understand & to convey to mortals the secrets of the earth. The Roman Legions adopted it in the first century AD, inscribing the figure of a Dragon on the standards carried into battle. The Dragon also figures in the mythology of various Oriental countries, notably Japan & China. It is deified in the Taoist religion & was the national emblem of the Chinese Empire. The Chinese traditionally regard the Dragon as a symbol of good fortune.......It is from an early Chinese rendition of the Dragon that this Charm has been reproduced.
