Saint Stylianos, known as the protector of children and infants, showed his love for God from a young age and decided to pursue a monastic life. After years of strict ascetic living, he became known for his miracles and his special care for children. Many mothers visited him seeking help for their children, and Saint Stylianos prayed for them and healed them. Tradition holds that he had the grace to protect children from illnesses and hardships.
