St. Javelin, a reimagined Virgin Mary, might not be a church-sanctioned saint, but in just a few months, she’s developed a devoted following as a viral meme. More impressively, she’s raised over 1 million dollars for the Ukrainian resistance against the Russian invasion.

Borys helped create the image as it’s known now — one that’s now on countless laptops, T-shirts, flags, murals, and even tattoos around the world. His growing team has expanded the roster of weapon-toting saints, selling branded stickers, accessories, and apparel primarily online.
