The saint behind the name
Theodore Trichinas
April 20, Venerable, Θεόδωρος
St. Theodore Trichinas was born in Constantinople and embraced the monastic life in a monastery of the countryside. He is called Trichinas, the hair-shirt wearer, because his only garment throughout his long ascetic struggle was a rough covering of hair, worn in every season as he mortified the flesh through fasting, vigil, and cold.
