This Saint Xenia of Saint Petersburg prayer candle honors the eighteenth century widow who gave up everything to live as a fool for Christ. It is a gentle Orthodox gift for widows, the homeless, and anyone starting over.
About Saint Xenia. Xenia lived in Saint Petersburg in the eighteenth century. After the sudden death of her husband, an army officer, she gave away her possessions and lived as a fool for Christ, wandering the city in her husband's clothing and helping the poor. The Russian Orthodox Church canonized her in 1988.
Many Orthodox Christians ask her prayers for housing, widowhood, and family troubles.
Choose this candle for a widow, someone facing homelessness or loss, a Russian Orthodox family, or anyone who admires radical charity.
