St. Zosimas was born in the second half of the fifth century, during the reign of Emperor Theodosius II. He became a monk in a monastery in Palestine at a very young age, gaining a reputation as a great elder and ascetic. At the age of 33, now a hieromonk, he moved to a very strict monastery located in the wilderness close to the Jordan River, where he spent the remainder of his life. He is best known for his encounter with Mary of Egypt. Zosimas is reputed to have lived to be almost 100 years of age. His feast day is on April 4.

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.
