About Byzantine Beard
Founded May 31st, 2018 on a beautiful spring day at Holy Transfiguration Monastery, in Redwood Valley, CA. Sometime between noon prayer and Vespers, John Mance and Abbot Father Damian shared a vision of men everywhere having properly moisturized and well groomed beards. A great harvest of dry, unkempt beards was a massive undertaking indeed, the laborers were few, but with determination and a lot of Grace, they got started and are still working together today.
