High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Uastyrdzhi is the Ossetian name of St. George. Allegedly conflated with a pagan deity of Scythian religion, Uastyrdzhi is frequently depicted as a cavalryman with a long beard, riding on a white horse. One of his cultic centers is a place called Hetag's Grove, a wood situated three kilometres outside of Alagir, near Suadag village. In November each year, a one-year-old bullock is sacrificed to Uastyrdzhi. To indicate that the victim belongs to the god, its right horn is cut off long before, forbidding any herdsman to swear at it. The mother of the Narts, Shatana, is Uastyrdzhi's daughter.
