The holy Martyr Eustathios before his baptism was an illustrious Roman general
named Placidas in the days of the Emperor Trajan. While hunting in the country
one day, he was converted to the Faith of Christ through the apparition of an
uncommonly majestic stag, between whose antlers he saw the Cross of Christ, and
through which the Lord spoke to him with a human voice. Upon returning home, he
learned that his wife Tatiana had also had a vision in which she was instructed
to become a Christian. They sought out the Bishop of the Christians and were
baptized, Placidas receiving the name Eustathios, and Tatiana the name
Theopiste; their two sons were baptized Agapios and Theopistos.
The icon reproductions are created by iconographer monks of various Greek Orthodox monasteries in Greece and all images are approved replications by the Greek Orthodox Church. As icons are considered to be the Gospel in image, these images are accurate and true Orthodox renderings, not second-hand interpretations. The icon images are mounted on solid wood and protected from tarnish with a varnish finish that seals in colors and creates a shiny luster.
