This is a beautiful silver plated icon with black border. Icon is made with Silver 950 that will not change color or tarnish as time passes. Solid, very well made and beautifully detailed, it is an ideal gift for your newborn's/baby's crib or for the Christening of a baby.
The icon is depicting Saint Stylianos embracing a little baby. St Stylianos is well known to be the protector of the kids and the Sponsor of the Babies/children and this is the reason why always is depicted embracing a child. He was a man who practiced every day of his lifetime what Jesus preached when he said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the Kingdom of God" (Luke 10:14). His great concern for children was such that he came to be considered the patron saint of children, but he did not limit his benevolence to children alone, as his life story bears out.Families from all walks of life entrusted to St Stylianos the enlightenment of their children, and he was forced to seek out larger headquarters and to recruit from the ranks of his hermit friends the assistance needed to tend to so many. His was probably the first day-care center of the world, where mothers could safely leave their children while tending to other matters of the home.
St Stylianos was inadvertently qualified to become the patron saint of children yet to be born, owing to his miraculous intercession for a young woman who helped him with children but could bear none of her own. When the woman conceived, her husband out of sheer joy spread the word of this miracle, and before long many barren women came to the great hermit. Those whose faith in Jesus Christ was genuine became fertile. The cheerful countenance of St Stylianos was his hallmark, because he seemed always to be smiling.
Certificate of Authenticity exists in the back of the icon. Each one comes ready to hang.
