Originally published in 1973, just prior to the glorification of the Blessed Xenia as a saint of the Orthodox Church. St. Xenia reposed in St. Petersburg, Russia about 1803, at the age of 71. She is a member of that rare class of Orthodox saints known as the "Fools for Christ's Sake", i.e., she feigned insanity as her God-given ascesis. This book gives what is known of her life, but most of the book is 26 accounts (many by eyewitnesses) of miracles done by God in response to the intercessions of St. Xenia after her repose. Also includes some of the Church's hymns to her, articles, and documents relating to her glorification. 6x9, with saddle-stitched binding. Includes monochrome icons and photos of her grave. --- Randall Mark Trainer
