Wooden hanging amulet with Agios Stylianos

A wonderful wood-carved amulet from Mount Athos with a relief representation of Agios Stylianos, with an infant writhing in his arms symbolizing that he is the protector of infants.

It is an elegant & handy handiwork made in linden or cherry wood, by monks with great skill in wood processing. In a relatively small size and with a well-thought-out construction (thanks to the cord on top), it can be placed anywhere in the house, in the car or even in a bag, so that the believer feels that he always has the Grace and protection of the Saint close to him.

At the same time, it can be a very beautiful gift for the people we love.

On the back is the exact name of the representation.

Agios Stylianos (26 November)

Agios Stylianos came from a wealthy family, but from an early age he was taught by his parents to be temperate and to consider money as a means of relief and care for the poor and sick. When his parents died, he divided all his inheritance and went to live in the desert as an ascetic.

In fact, his fame reached the cities, and many rushed to find him to ask him for spiritual guidance. Saint Stylianos, despite his deserted life, had affection and sympathy towards children. He explained that childhood is by nature more virtuous. Many times parents took their children to him and then the joy of the Saint was very great. By rewarding this sacred feeling, God endowed the Saint with the gift of healing sick children and helping childless women.
