Big Fool's Cap
This is displayed in the southwest wing of the St. Basil's Cathedral, St. John died in 1589 after walking around barefoot all year wearting nothing but a cloak with a large hood. He wore long hair and a heavy copper cross on his chest and an iron cap and predicted Godunov's bitter end. These fetters and cap were displayed on his grave and was requisitioned following the 1917 bolshevic coup, now on display at the Cathedral
This is me, freezing cold in January!
John of Moscow, also known as Blessed John the Fool for Christ is said to have spoken the truth without any fear whatsoever, even to those of the highest social status such as the Russian Czar, Boris Fjodorovič Godunov, himself.
This is very true. He did not hold his tough at all. I have this same problem in my life, and my name is John too. John the Fool ))
Luckily you are (still) not walking around barefoot in those Russian winters ... I hope.
I am back in California now, so i am barefoot but the weather is nice ))
Then you are on the safe side now when it comes to winter time.
I really am, I have gotten used to not wearing sandals, I always wore them before but hardly ever now.
Is that bondage or torture we're looking at?
i think it could be either, i prefer to think of it as bondage!
That would be better but I suspect that is not the case when it comes to these "elitests".
i think you're right
it's great Godunov is able to walk barefoot all year without anything but a cloak with a big hood
this was a man not afraid to speak his mind even to very powerful people.
Interesting information. I cannot imagine St. John (or anyone) walking barefoot in the cold Russian winter.
i can't imagine this either, it is so damn cold there i could hardly walk in my very warm shoes and jacket!
Nice !
