Agios Stylianos – Sandblasting – Mount Athos

Description

A special handiwork of an Agiorite monk. The image of the Saint with golden painted sand from the shores of the Athonian State.

Agios Stylianos came from a rich 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 divided all his inheritance and went to live in the desert as an ascetic.In fact, his fame reached the cities and many ran to him to ask him for spiritual guidance. Saint Stylianos, despite his lonely life, had affection and sympathy for children. He explained, in fact, that childhood by its nature is more virtuous. Many times the parents took their children to him and then the joy of the Saint was very great. God, rewarding this holy feeling, endowed the Saint with the gift of healing sick children and helping childless women.
