Orthodox Amulets

The Orthodox Amulet ("filakto" in Greek) has a long tradition in the Orthodox Church, offering protection and blessings to the wearer.

In Christianity, Amulets are usually small in shape and contain either sacred relics or various ecclesiastical materials such as pure wood or holy myrrh. Like a small good luck charm, amulets protest against evil and are constantly used by the Christians. 

The handmade Orthodox Amulets in our collection include flowers from the Epitaph and cotton soaked in oil and myrrh from our Church.
