Saint Eleftherios was born in Rome, in the 2nd century AD. His mother, Anthia, took him to Anicetus, the Bishop of Rome at a young age who taught him in the divine scriptures.  Eleutherios was appointed bishop of Messina and Illyricum at the age of twenty. He was imprisoned and together with his mother were taken to Rome to be judged by the Emperor Hadrian. They were both condemned to death on December 15. According to tradition, Eleutherios was thrown to the lions but the beasts did not touch him. He was therefore beheaded together with Anthia. December 15 is the Feast Day of Agios Eleftherios, the Patron Saint of expectant mothers and of childbirth.

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.
