Saint Stylianos is a saint from Asia Minor who lived between the 4th and 6th century. He was born in Adrianople, Paphlagonia, Asia Minor. He was the son of wealthy parents and was taught early on by them to be temperate and to regard money as a means of relieving and caring for the poor and the sick.

After he was brought up in this way, and his parents died, he distributed all his inheritance and went as an ascetic in the desert. There he became acquainted with other ascetics, living with them in brotherly love, Christian condescension and indulgence. He never pitied anyone; indeed, his great joy was to restore peace to troubled souls. The fame of his admirable ascetic life reached the cities, and many ran to him to seek his spiritual instructions.

Despite his solitary life, Stylianos had affection and sympathy for the children, whom the Lord loved so much. If, he said, humility is the foundation of the virtues, childhood by its nature is more virtuous than the older of the philosophers. Many times parents brought their children to him, and then the rejoicing of the saint was very great. God, rewarding this holy feeling, endowed the saint with the gift of healing sick children and making childless women childless.

Hosios Stylianos slept full of virtues and virtues.
The Orthodox Church commemorates his memory on 26 November.
