St. Simon lived an ascetical life on Mount Athos and was the founder of Simonopetra Monastery. One night, he saw a star of such brightness that he thought it must be the Star of Bethlehem. On the eve of the Lord’s Nativity the star stood over a high rock, and Saint Simon heard a voice say, “Here, O Simon, you must lay the foundations of your monastery for the salvation of souls.” He reposed in the year 1287, and his holy relics exude myrrh. His feast day is on December 28.

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.
