Saint Xenia of St. Petersburg:

The most important thing about Saint Xenia of St. Petersburg is her role as the "All-Seeing Comforter" who knows the secrets of human hearts. She is unique because, following the death of her husband, she chose the most difficult path—the feat of being a "Fool-for-Christ," renouncing her name and possessions to save her husband's soul. Folk tradition says: "To whomever Xenia visits, happiness never leaves." The most vital point to understand is that she is not just a saint to whom we pray, but a friend of the family who resolves "unsolvable" earthly problems. It is believed that her icon in the home brings peace of mind and a secure roof over one's head, as she specifically advocates for those seeking justice, employment, or a soulmate. She teaches us that true love is sacrifice, and the reward for that sacrifice is eternal joy under the protection of God.
