Wooden Pendant Amulet with Saint Stylianos

A beautiful wooden amulet from Mount Athos, featuring a relief representation of Saint Stylianos, with an infant wrapped in his arms, symbolizing that he is the protector of infants.

This is a tasteful and practical craft made from linden or cherry wood by monks with great skill in wood processing. With a relatively small size and a well-thought-out design (thanks to the cord at the top), it can be placed anywhere in the house, in the car, or even in a bag, allowing the faithful to always feel close to the grace and protection of the Saint.

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

The exact name of the representation is written on the back.

Saint Stylianos (November 26th)

Saint Stylianos came from a wealthy family, but from a young age, he was taught by his parents to be temperate and to consider money as a means for the relief and care of the poor and the sick. When his parents died, he gave away all his inheritance and went to live in the desert as a hermit.

In fact, his fame spread to the cities, and many came to seek spiritual guidance from him. Despite his solitary life, Saint Stylianos had a deep affection and compassion for children. He even explained that childhood, by nature, is more virtuous. Often, parents would bring their children to him, and the joy of the Saint was immense. God, rewarding this sacred sentiment, granted Saint Stylianos the gift of healing sick children and helping barren women.
