St. Theodore was born in Constantinople to wealthy and pious Christian parents. When he was old enough, he left everything behind and entered a monastery in Thrace, west of Constantinople. He rejected his former comfortable lifestyle and wore only an uncomfortable hair shirt, from which he received his name, Trichinas ("hair-shirt wearer"). He also slept on a stone, which helped him avoid comfort and from sleeping too much. Theodore received the power to perform miraculous healing. He reposed around the turn of the fifth century, and became one of the most revered saints of Orthodox monasticism. Saint Theodore is commemorated on April 20.

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.
