[[Saint]] '''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]].
