- St Theodore Trichinas (the Hair-shirt wearer), hermit near Constantinople (400)
- He was born in Constantinople to well-off and pious parents. He
became a monastic in Thrace, and subjected himself to many ascetic
labors, one of which was always to dress in a hair-shirt, from which he
was called "Trichinas" (meaning "hairy"). He was granted the gift of
working miracles, both during his lifetime and after his repose. His
relics exuded a healing myrrh.
