Amulet Pillow – Mount Athos

Description A classic woven amulet in the shape of a small pillow. Made with gold thread and silver thread in various colors. Inside, it contains blessings and has a metal safety pin for hanging. When Elder Paisios was asked about amulets, he said: “Amulets are fabrics of various shapes, square or triangular, which contain various sacred items inside, such as lamp oil, cross flowers, wax mastic from the dedication of a church or from the white vestments of the bishop who performed the dedication, pieces of relics from the vestments of saints. Apart from the aforementioned amulets, which Christians usually obtain from holy monasteries, there are also other amulets. However, amulets on their own do not save, unless there is faith in God, accompanied by participation in the sacred mysteries of the Orthodox Church. Amulets are sacred means for salvation; they are not a fashion. They are also transmitters of God’s grace.” It is safe for babies and infants. Suitable for blessings, weddings, baptisms, etc.
