Knight at the Crossroads

The solider sits astride his horse armed for war. He sits unmoving as he reads the words carved in stone before him. “If you go straight ahead, there will be no life; there is no way forward for he who travels past, walks past or flies past.” This is the moment he decides to abandon his quest or continue on in spite of this dire warning. This russian warrior complete many fantastic feats and later became a holy monk and named a saint. Hero, Warrior, Monk and Saint he stands as an example for us all who labor for cause of Truth and fight to defend It.
