St. Ioannis was from the island Kos and worked as a quartermaster. He was converted to Islam by force; he, however, threw away the Turkish clothes and lived a Christian life. The Turks caught him, arrested him, and whipped him mercilessly, and then imprisoned him. The Turks tried to convert him to Islam, but in vain. The judge ordered to be beaten merciless and condemned him to be burned alive. The year was 1669 AD. His feast day is on April 8.

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.
