Artificial landscape depicting the scene of death and gore that eventually contributed, according to legend, to George's sainthood. Photosensitive flowers act as motion detectors to trigger the dragon's death throes.George was born in what is now Turkey in the 3rd century AD and served in the military under the Roman emperor Diocletian. At that time -- much as today -- there was high inflation and civil unrest, and hardship fed a trend toward religious fundamentalism both among the population and the government. Diocletian was a brutal persecutor of the rising Christian movement.
