Coptic Orthodox icon of Saint Yostos El Antony on thick plywood 20mm, which does not sting and keeps its shape over time. Preparation with acrylic stucco and have been used acrylic colors. It has been covered with varnish to keep the colors undiluted in time and humidity. Hanging clip included on the back of the icon.
St. Yostos was born in Zarabie El-Muharraq, Egypt in 1910. At the age of 30 he left his family and went to the Monastery of Saint Paul the Anchorite. He lived there for 2 years and went to the Monastery of Saint Anthony. After some years he became a monk. He became known for his saintly life, silence and asceticism. In particular, he was known for frequently asking, "What time is it?" to remind people to be careful about every deed as this life is short and "people must give an account to God for it." He died in peace in 1976 and his feast day is on December 17.

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.
