Born into a wealthy family in sixth century Rome, Saint Gregory was an excellent student and eventually followed in his father's footsteps as the prefect of Rome. Upon his father's death, he converted the family villa into a monastery and lived a strict monastic life. Elevated to the papacy by popular acclaim in 590, Saint Gregory urged his clergy to the mission of service to the poor. He, himself, required that there always be a dozen of the poor at his meals. He established what is known as "plain chant," or Gregorian chant, which is the oldest known style of liturgical chant in the Western Church. St. Gregory the Great is the patron saint of musicians, singers and teachers.

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.
