Saint Mercurius slaying Julian the Apostate is an icon found in the St. George's church [mk] in Struga.

[1][2] Faced with the upper part of the body, Saint Mercurius, with a cinnabar halo, triumphantly rides a white horse, who with a whirling mane lifts his hooves upon the emperor Julian "the Apostate".

Mercurius is depicted in a leather armor with a metal gambeson; a cinnamon chlamys with pearl ornaments, tied by a large knot on the chest; a short green tunic; blue socks with black and red hinges and ocher shoes; a metal helmet with wide visor and long feather on top; a circular shield, profiled along the outer edge and a black vase motif on the white center field; a sword and a bow with an arrow in obscure fragments to the body.

The image is painted on a light ocher with olive shades, cinnamon accentuated on the cheeks, nose and mouth, as well as a white weight on the face and neck.

The physiognomic features of the saint with a full cheek face, curly hair up to the ears, short dark beard and mustache, as well as the modeling of his helmet, direct the closest analogies to the Church of the Assumption of the Most Holy Mother of God [mk] in Velestovo, near Ohrid, more precisely towards the image of St. Mercurius painted in 1444.
