St. Stylianos (6th century) is the patron saint of children born and yet to be born. He loved the Lord Jesus Christ with his whole heart and lived in strict asceticism. When he fell asleep in the Lord, his face shone like the sun and an angel appeared to take his soul to Glory. His prayers have worked many miracles, both during his earthly life and since. He is of special help to children who are ill and to childless couples. He is known as a protector of orphans.
I am thankful for my children and bless God's name.
Troparion
Holy Stylianos, thou wast a tower of abstinence
and an unshaken pillar of the Church.
Dedicated to God from thy youth,
thou didst become a dwelling-place of the Spirit.
O righteous Father, intercede with Christ our God
to grant us His great mercy.
