When the Saracens brought the slaves to the market place of Paros, Theoktiste escaped and hid in an abandoned church of Panagia Ekatontapyliani where she lived a life of asceticism for 35 years.

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.
