Mary Magdalene holding a missile has become a symbol of the Ukrainian resistance. Known as St Javelin of Ukraine on social media, she had a blue halo marked with the golden trident coat-of-arms of Ukraine according to the Ukrainian flag colours, and her green robes are vaguely reminiscent of military dress.

St Javelin got her name because of holding an FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile launcher that is fitted with a high-explosive anti-tank warhead and has a range of 2,000 metres. The US-made, shoulder-fired weapon is considered pivotal to the defence of Ukraine against Russia's ongoing invasion.
