👉 The Saint's Weapon, also known as the Saint's Crossbow or the Holy Crossbow, is a unique medieval weapon that combines elements of both crossbows and traditional bows. It was primarily used by Christian warriors, particularly during the Crusades, and was named after Saint George, a revered Christian martyr. This weapon featured a cross-shaped crosspiece on the bowstring, which was intended to symbolize the Christian faith and protect the user from evil. The crosspiece was attached to a long wooden stock, allowing for greater leverage and power compared to standard crossbows. Its design allowed for a more accurate and powerful shot, making it a formidable weapon in the hands of a skilled archer.
