**Description**
This 3.5x4-inch embroidered pocket icon or patch honors **Saint Isidore of Pelusium**, a revered monk, theologian, and letter-writer whose wisdom shaped the Christian world in the 4th and 5th centuries. Whether kept in a prayer book, carried for daily devotion, displayed in a prayer corner, or sewn onto vestments or bags, this finely crafted piece is a beautiful reminder of a saint who blended deep learning with profound humility.
**About Saint Isidore of Pelusium**
Saint Isidore was born in Alexandria, Egypt, around the late 4th century. A relative of Saint Athanasius the Great, he received an exceptional education in both Scripture and classical learning. Yet rather than seeking worldly honor, he withdrew to the monastic life at Pelusium, near the mouth of the Nile, dedicating himself to prayer, asceticism, and the study of God’s Word.
A gifted writer, Isidore is believed to have composed over **10,000 letters**—many of which survive—addressed to bishops, monks, and laypeople. These letters, filled with scriptural insight and pastoral care, addressed theological controversies, encouraged moral living, and guided the faithful during times of trial. He was an outspoken defender of Orthodox teaching, particularly during the Christological debates leading up to the Council of Ephesus in 431, where he supported Saint Cyril of Alexandria against the Nestorian heresy.
Saint Isidore reposed peacefully around the year 440, leaving behind a legacy of spiritual wisdom and unwavering commitment to the truth. The Church commemorates him on **February 4**.
