The Fools for Christ

A fool for Christ is a saint known for an apparent, yet holy, madness: living as one despised and foolish in the world's eyes for Christ's sake, after St Paul's words that whoever would be wise should become a fool. In Russian such a saint is called yurodivyi. Below are the fools for Christ whose lives Orthros carries, each with their feast day.
