Saint Stylianos, born in the 6th century in Adrianopolis (modern-day Turkey), came from a wealthy family. He joined the hermits of the desert, dedicating himself to meditation, prayer, and serving Jesus Christ. Unlike most hermits, Stylianos did not completely withdraw from society but often returned to offer help and comfort to the people.

According to tradition, one night while praying for guidance, he experienced a divine encounter with the Holy Spirit. From that moment, Stylianos felt empowered and began healing the sick, starting with a child he miraculously cured. His reputation spread, and many sought his help, believing in the healing power that flowed through him. His small cave became a refuge for the sick and suffering, where countless people, especially children, found healing through his touch and their faith. 

Stylianos devoted much of his care to children, not only those suffering physically but also those in need of protection and guidance.
