Yurodivy
Foolishness for Christ (; ) refers to behavior such as giving up all one's worldly possessions upon joining an ascetic order or religious life, or deliberately flouting society's conventions to serve a religious purpose—particularly of Christianity. Such individuals have historically been known as both "holy fools" and "blessed fools". The term "fool" connotes what is perceived as feeblemindedness, and " blessed" or "holy" refers to innocence in the eyes of God.Frith, Uta. (1989) Autism: The Elegant Enigma. Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishing. The term ''fools for Christ'' derives from the writings of Paul the Apostle. Desert Fathers and other saints acted the part of Holy Fools, as have the ''yurodivy'' (or iurodstvo) of Eastern Orthodox asceticism. Fools for Christ often employ shocking and unconventional behavior to challenge accepted norms, deliver prophecies, or to mask their piety.Parry (1999), p. 233 Old Testament Certain prophets of the Old Testament who exhibited signs ...

Nicholas Of Trani
Nicholas the Pilgrim (; ; 1075 – 2 June 1094), sometimes Nicholas of Trani, is a saint of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church. Biography Nicholas was born at Steiri in Boeotia, Greece, where his solitary life as a shepherd led him to contemplative spirituality, as part of which he developed the constant repetition of the phrase ''Kyrie Eleison''. This brought him conflict and aggression in populated places, and he suffered much oppression.Archdiocese of Trani, Barletta, Bisceglie and Nazareth (publ.), 2004: ''San Nicola il Pellegrino: Atti, testimonianze e liturgie in occasione dei festeggiamenti del IX centenario della sua morte. 10 anni dopo''. Trani His mother, believing that he was possessed by demons, sent him to live at the Hosios Loukas monastery but the monks became annoyed with his almost insane behaviour, such as the constant exclamation of the Kyrie Eleison, and expelled him. Nicholas then continued to live some life until he was nineteen when he decided ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Imitation Of Christ
In Christian theology, the imitation of Christ is the practice of following the example of Jesus.''A concise dictionary of theology'' by Gerald O'Collins, Edward G. Farrugia 2004 , p. 115.''Imitating Jesus: an inclusive approach to New Testament ethics'' by Richard A. Burridge 2007 , pp. 142–145.''Holy people of the world: a cross-cultural encyclopedia, Volume 3'' by Phyllis G. Jestice 2004 , pp. 393–394.

The ideal of the imitation of Christ has been an important element of both Christian ethics and spirituality.''The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Theology'' by Alan Richardson, John Bowden 1983 , pp. 285–286. References to this concept and its practice are found in the earliest Christian documents, e.g. the Pauline Epistles. Saint Augustine viewed the imitation of Christ as the fundamental purpose of Christian life, and as a remedy for the imitation of the sins of Adam.''Augusti ...

Ludovico Morbioli
Ludovico Morbioli (1433 - 9 November 1485) was an Italian people, Italian Roman Catholic Church, Roman Catholic from Bologna who led a dissolute life before adopting a life of repentance. Morbioli was married but separated from his wife after experiencing a sudden religious conversion in Venice during a grave illness - he forever wandered the streets preaching on penance and the need for personal mortifications. His use of a white habit has given rise to misconceptions that he was part of the Carmelites, Carmelite Order when he was not. Morbioli's beatification received full approval on 24 October 1843 after Pope Gregory XVI confirmed the late penitent's longstanding and enduring local 'cultus' - or popular veneration. Life Ludovico Morbioli was born in 1433 in Bologna to Francesco Antonio and Agnes Morbioli as one of six children (five males and one female). He led a dissolute life of vice that included drinking and other forms of pleasure-seeking. Morbioli married Lucia Tura ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saint Salaun
In Christian belief, a saint is a person who is recognized as having an exceptional degree of holiness, likeness, or closeness to God. However, the use of the term ''saint'' depends on the context and denomination. In Anglican, Oriental Orthodox, and Lutheran doctrine, all of their faithful deceased in Heaven are considered to be saints, but a selected few are considered worthy of greater honor or emulation. Official ecclesiastical recognition, and veneration, is conferred on some denominational saints through the process of canonization in the Catholic Church or glorification in the Eastern Orthodox Church after their approval. In many Protestant denominations, and following from Pauline usage, ''saint'' refers broadly to any holy Christian, without special recognition or selection. While the English word ''saint'' (deriving from the Latin ) originated in Christianity, historians of religion tend to use the appellation "in a more general way to refer to the state of special ...

Teobaldo Roggeri
Teobaldo Roggeri (1100 - 1150) was an Italian Roman Catholic shoemaker and porter from the Ligurian province noted for his simple manner of living and for his commitment to the needs of the poor of the Diocese of Alba. Roggeri received his beatification from Pope Gregory XVI in 1841 after the pontiff confirmed that there was a significant 'cultus' (or popular and longstanding devotion) to the tradesman. Life Teobaldo Roggeri was born in the Ligurian region to nobles from Piedmont in 1100.

In August 2011 the Italian government had made plans to merge the village with neighbouring Filettino, in order to cut administrative costs, but they were interrupted by the protestations of the mayor of Filettino, Luca Sellari, who announced his village would become its own independent principality, in order to preserve its identity. Main sights An old arch within the territory of the comune is said to be Roman, and some remains of the ancient acropolis ...

Cavallucci - San Benedetto Giuseppe Labre
''Cavallucci'' are an Italian Christmas pastry made with anise, walnuts, candied fruits, coriander, and flour. They are Sienese in origin, and the name translates approximately to 'little horses'. The chewy pastries are similar to a cookie or biscuit and traditionally use Tuscan ''millefiori'' honey as an essential ingredient in the dough. History The pastries were originally imprinted with the image of a horse (''cavalli'' is the Italian term for 'horses'). They are a version of a pastry which is traceable to the reign of Lorenzo the Magnificent (1449–1492), when they were called "''biriquocoli''". Many hypotheses are associated with the origin of its name. According to the most popular version of the story, ''cavallucci'' were served to travelers on horseback as a source of nourishment for long trips. Another speculation is that postal workers who delivered mail over long distances ate the pastries on a regular basis. Additionally surmised is that these sweets were the u ...
