Saint Stylianos (Latin: Stylianus, Greek: Στυλιανός, English: Stylian) was born during the 6th century in Adrianopolis in the province of Paphlagonia (in modern day Turkey) into a very wealthy family. At a young age, Stylianos joined the hermits of the desert with a view toward cleansing his soul through a period of meditation and prayer, as well as through association with men likewise pledging their lives to Jesus Christ. Unlike most other hermits, however, he did not withdraw from society altogether, preferring to go among the people for whatever good he might do, and then returning to his little cave for rest and prayerful meditation.

We work with the traditional methods of Mount Athos while using the finest quality of wood and gold leaf, achieving exceptional copies of the original Byzantine icons. “ The artificial “ageing” is a unique technique used to preserve the authenticity of the traditional style of Mount Athos.
