St. Germanus was a son of patrician Justinian, who was executed in 668. Justinian was reportedly involved in the murder of Constans II and usurpation of the throne by Mezezius. Germanus survived the persecutions, but was made a eunuch by the victors. Germanus was sent to a monastery. He resurfaces as Bishop of Cyzicus. On 11 August 714/715, Germanus was elected Patriarch of Constantinople. Germanus was replaced by Anastasios on 730. Germanus retired to the residence of his family. He died a few years at an advanced age in 740. His feast day is on May 12.

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.
