Saint Giles was one of the most popular saints of the middle ages, in England alone more than 160 churches were dedicated to him. His popularity stems from the diversity of his charges, who are largely people who suffer some an affliction of some kind and who would wish for saintly intercession by way of relief. St. Giles is the patron saint of over one hundred and fifty churches in the United Kingdom. St. Giles is usually represented as an old man with an arrow in his knee and accompanied by a deer. Because of his lameness, Saint Giles has become the “Patron Saint of the Handicapped.”

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.
