Orthodox icon of Saint Leo, Bishop of Catania, Sicily.

Commemorated February 20th

Saint Leo was born in Ravenna, Italy, of pious and noble parents. He was famed for his benevolence and charity, as well as his Christian love for the poor and wanderers. After completing his studies, he was ordained as a priest at Ravenna, and later, because of his purity and his most spiritual life, he was consecrated as Bishop of Catania in Sicily. He became the protector of orphans and widows, teaching and shepherding his flock.

The Saint was also distinguished for his struggles against heretics, whom he defeated and shamed, not only by his words, but also through his writings. The Lord honored him with the charisms of healing people from various diseases, and of working miracles.

During Saint Leo's episcopate, there was a sorcerer named Heliódoros who lived in Catania and deceived people with his fraudulent miracles. He was once a Christian, but then he denied the Savior and became a servant of the devil. Saint Leo urged Heliódoros to refrain from his evil deeds and return to God, but all in vain. One day Heliódoros audaciously entered the church where the bishop was performing the Divine Services, and tried to create a disturbance, sowing confusion and temptation with his sorcery.

Seeing the people beset by demons under the sorcerer's spell, Saint Leo knew that the time for meek exhortation had passed. He came out of the altar and tied his omophorion around the sorcerer's neck, leading him out of the church and into the city square. There he forced Heliódoros to confess all his wicked deeds. Then he commanded that a fire be lit, and jumped into the flames with the sorcerer. There they stood until Heliódoros was consumed by the fire. Saint Leo, by God's grace, remained unharmed. This miracle brought the Hierarch great renown during his lifetime, therefore, the Saint was invited to visit Constantinople by Emperors Leo IV (775 - 780) and Constantine VI (780 - 798), where he received many honors. Saint Leo reposed peacefully in 785.

After his death, a woman with an issue of blood received healing at his grave. The Saint's body was placed in the church of the holy Martyr Lucy (December 13), which he himself had built. Later on, his relics were transferred to the church of Saint Martin, the Bishop of Tours (November 11) in Rome.

If you're partial to mesh loofahs, get these instead!
Scent: Gray
Here I am, a 33 year-old guy and avid death metal fan. Writing reviews for, and getting excited about exfoliating shower cloths. I'm not sure what brought me to this point in life, but I'll attempt to share some wisdom now that I'm here. Before these cloths entered my life, I was supremely dedicated to showering with traditional mesh loofahs. They had a good "scrub factor" and showering with bare soap bars or normal cotton wash cloths just made me feel like I was pushing soap around without actually getting clean. Well, I eventually got frustrated with having to keep a bunch of them stocked in the bathroom cabinets and the enormous amount of waste they produce. It's recommend to replace traditional mesh shower loofahs every 8 weeks, but uhhh.. who are we kidding? You'd be lucky to use one for half that length of time before the knot loosens up and it all unravels on you. Enter: these things! These double-sided wash cloths take everything I enjoyed about mesh scrubbers and put it all into a different form-factor. Both the soft side and the exfoliating side make a rich lather with a minimal amount of body wash, which is something you WON'T get with regular wash rags. These cloths are strong, well-made, and mostly importantly they won't unravel into a pile of cheap plastic. Another advantage these have over regular cotton rags is that they're made of a quick-drying material, which makes it a lot harder for bacteria to harbor and grow. A thorough rinse along with a firm wringing to expel the excess water before hanging it up to dry, and you're good to go! One more advantage these have over loofahs and sponges is how much better the cloths are for getting into tighter spaces (I'm specifically referring to cleaning feet and in-between toes, but yes, it'll get THOSE areas nice and clean too) 👌. At $20 for a 3-pack (on sale for $15 at the time of this review), these cloths are more expensive when compared to the cheap mesh loofahs that you can pick up for $2-3 a piece. But trust me when I tell you that these cloths will far out last even the most premium loofahs, and they clean infinitely better as well. Give 'em a shot, and maybe one day you'll start getting excited about boring, dumb adult stuff too! 🤘

I like it just not the soft side
Scent: Gray
Now when I looking for cloths. I was looking for a face one. There was a photo here that showed a up close shot of the texture of the rough side... that's what made me get it. And I'm honestly happy that I did. I literally just came out the shower. Im air drying while writing this lol. To talk about how it's worth the money getting this. Im surprise they don't have more ratings. When you look at the video for this product it looks dramatic cause it is. Its meant to be. but when they actually mention details about the product...... its the honest truth. The rough I love it. I actually feel like I have a new skin after rubbing all the dead skin off my body and used another one to rub my feet (never mix the two lol) so the rough side of the product has 100% 👍🏽 👍🏽 from me. But the soft side. Ehh honestly it isn't for me if the soft side was a bit more rough. I would love it. But when I used it it felt like I was just rubbing batter on me or something like that. If they made a glove version of this I would buy 1 for each day of the week lol. If they another cloth that didn't have such a soft side I'll buy that instead. But honestly this product is amazing and worth the money they're asking form. Which isn't a lot. Believe me you'll feel better after that good scrub down... just be gentle at certain areas and on your neck. I'm going to buy the actual face one from this company on my next pay check. So worth it

Small Wash Cloth - Potholder Size
I really want to rave about the product, but it is just too small. The wash cloth lather's really well (it will save on liquid soap). I love the exfoliating side, I feel I am getting clean. I am a female who loves to work outside in the garden, ride ATV's and do woodworking. I get really dirty and it is great for removing dirt! My husband loves the cloth too, but he is tall (6'2") and the cloth is really small for him. For Him, my solution was to sew two of them together (don't judge my sewing skills). He can now use it as a wash cloth and back scratcher/cleaner (loops sewn at opposing ends). Pros: Cleans well, lots of lather with little soap, has a hanging hoop. Cons: Extremely Small (that is a regular size white Bed and Bath wash cloth for comparison). If using the terry cloth side, hard to hold because synthetic scrubby side is slick, the terry side also tends to "ball up" (I don't think this can be fixed because of the nature of the synthetic side). Please make this product larger, I would definitely buy again. Thank You!
