Description
 
A traditional filakto made by Greek Orthodox nuns. Size is 1" x 1". These are blessed by Greek Orthodox nuns of a U.S. monastary.

Filakto is a Greek word referring to something that keeps you safe by chasing away the evil. It is a small religious cloth pouch pinned to the clothes of a baby on the upper left shoulderblade. Sometimes the mother also pins a cross and/or the "mati" to the baby alongside the filakto. The filakto is a blessed fabric - filled with dried flowers from the Epitafio of Holy Friday and pieces of the Holy Altar vestments and Priest vestments.

Lovely December 12, 2012
Reviewer: Frances Giforos from Anaheim, CA United States  
I bought 3 of the filakta for my kids and grandson and was very pleased with them. I like the fact that they are made by nuns! The workmanship is wonderful and the seller was kind enough to include 3 pins along with them.
Great service!!!!!

Very Nice October 19, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from CHICAGO, IL United States  
These were beautiful, but I was surprised they came in different colors when only one was shown on the website.  Be specific if you want gold/red, blue or just gold
