Saint Eustathios was originally called Plakidas and was a Roman soldier on the side of Trajan. After a vision he saw during a hunt, he was persuaded to be baptized a Christian, taking the name Eustathios. His family followed his example and turned away from idolatry. However, when Trajan was informed of his actions, he deposed him and separated him from his family, but this did not affect the faith of Saint Eustathios. After some years, Trajan invited him to return, but his successor demanded that Saint Eustathios convert. When he refused, they tortured him and locked him and his family inside an animal effigy until they died.

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.
