Saint Philaretos lived sometime in the early 8th century. Born in Paphlagonia, Philaretos was very rich and belonged to an illustrious local aristocratic family of Byzantine Anatolian magnates, who gave away a large part of his property to the poor and needy. His great philanthropic work left him poor at some point in his life, but he never complained about his misfortune and continued his philanthropy unabashedly. When Emperor Constantine VII, son of Queen Irene, married his granddaughter, Maria, he appointed him supreme. From this position, Saint Philaret was able to scale up his Christian work to all those who needed it. His feast day is December 1 and is the patron saint of beekeepers.

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.
