Who is Ksenia Petersburg?
The future saint was born in the first half of the 18th century in a family of wealthy nobles in the capital of Russia. The girl lived a completely ordinary life for her Petersburg circle, although, of course, she was devout. And at the age of 18, like all the girls at her age, she gathered and soon got married.
Her husband was a military man, singing and served at court. He made a brilliant career and rose to the rank of colonel. And when Ksenia was 26 years old, her husband died suddenly, and she remained a widow. The inconsolable girl deeply hurt that he died without church repentance, and therefore she decided to pure the forgiveness of the sins of her beloved husband. She abandoned the situation in society, houses and conditions, and, dressing in her husband’s clothes, began to wander along the streets of the city. She spoke only in the name of her husband. And when the spouse’s outfit was finally decayed, she pulled on herself a dimensionless red sweater, a green skirt and torn boots. In this image, it is usually depicted on the icons.
