The Life of St. Xenia of St. Petersburg

About

Xenia lived most of her life in eighteenth-century Russia as a homeless fool-for-Christ and displayed remarkable spiritual gifts including clairvoyance. At first, some of the people of St. Petersburg mocked and ridiculed her as a homeless vagabond. Xenia bore this with patience and eventually, they began to realize her spiritual gifts and connection with God despite her attempts to hide her asceticism.
