St. Theosebios was born in the village of Melandra, Cyprus and was the brother of St. Arkadios the Wonderworker and Bishop of Arsinoe. Theosebios was a shepherd of the sheep of the family which allowed him time to pray and meditate on the word of God. Gentle and soft spoken, he prayed secretly in a cave. When he came of age, he married a pious girl from the neighboring village of Philousa. After having agreed with his wife not to have carnal relations but to keep their purity and only have a fraternal relationship, they lived together in virginity. Many years later Theosebios realized the coming of the end of his life and told his wife that he would go to a more distant place in order to graze his sheep and recommended to her to keep her soul vigilant and to keep her virginity. After that he led his sheep out for grazing, he went into his beloved cave, and after having prayed he died peacefully on October 12. He was buried in the cave by his wife and parents and a church was built in his name. His feast day is on October 12.

Care Instructions

My handpainted icons are made from natural materials that constantly interact with their environment. These above materials are sensitive to extreme light, heat and humidity.

Handling the icons should also be done cautiously; oils from our hands can stain their shiny surface. Dust can softly be removed with a pure white cloth.

Following the above simple instructions will guarantee that your icon will age gracefully through time and will be enjoyed by the generations to come.
