[[Saint ]] '''Theodore Trichinas ''' ("Hair-Shirt Wearer") was born into a wealthy yet pious family in [[Constantinople]]. He denounced all earthly and material riches and dedicated his life to [[Christ ]] in a [[monastery ]] in the Imperial City. Having given away all that he had to the poor, and himself not owning anything, he clothed himself not in clothes but a rough hair garment all his life, and hence his name. He reposed at the end of the fourth or early fifth centuries. His memory is celebrated on [[April 20]].
St Joseph the Hymnographer composed a canon in his honour.  ==Hymn==
[[Troparion]] ([[Tone]] 8)
:''The image of God was faithfully preserved in you O Father, '':''for you took up the Cross and followed Christ '':''by your actions you taught us took look beyond the flesh for it passes'':''rather to be concerned about the soul which is immortal '':''wherefore O holy Theodore your soul rejoices with the angels.''

'':''And you are an angel living on earth among men, '' :''and a man dancing for joy with the holy angels.'':''Hence O Theodore, you have proven yourself a holy vessel of awesome wonders and signs.''
