Feodor I of Russia: Difference between revisions

Feodor therefore grew up in the shadow of a distant father, with no mother to succor him, and only his older brother Ivan Ivanovich for family solidarity. He grew to be sickly of health and diffident of temperament. He was extremely pious by nature, spending hours in prayer and contemplation. He was very fond of visiting churches, and would often cause the bells to be rung according to a [[Russian Orthodox bell ringing|special tradition]] in the [[Russian Orthodox Church]]. For this reason, he is known to history as Feodor the Bellringer. He is also listed in the [[Synaxarium|Great Synaxaristes]] of the Orthodox Church, with his feast day on [[January 7 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics)|January 7]].<ref>[[Synaxarium|Great Synaxaristes]]: {{in lang|el}} ''[http://www.synaxarion.gr/gr/sid/1653/sxsaintinfo.aspx Ὁ Ἅγιος Θεόδωρος ὁ Πρίγκιπας].'' 7 Ιανουαρίου.
