About Saint Andrew. According to the Life of Andrew the Fool, he was a Scythian by birth and a slave in Constantinople who took on the way of the holy fool for Christ. The Life places him in the 5th century, under Emperor Leo I, though some historians argue for the 9th or 10th century. More than 110 Greek manuscripts of the Life survive.
The Life tells how Andrew and his disciple Epiphanius saw the Virgin Mary spread her protection over the faithful at the Blachernae church while enemies surrounded the city.
Choose this candle for an Orthodox home, a convert, a reader of the Russian and Greek holy fool tradition, or a name day for someone named Andrew.
