  • Andrew of Constantinople (Andrew the Fool-for-Christ or Andrew, the Fool; Greek: Ἀνδρέας ὁ Σαλός; died in 936) is considered a saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church, and is revered as a Fool for Christ. Andrew, a Slav by birth, was a slave of Theognostus, who was serving as a bodyguard in Constantinople. Later, he decided to become a Fool for Christ, living out his goal with humility and patience. According to certain sources, Andrew had a vision of the Most Holy Theotokos in the Blachernae church of Constantinople, while the city was surrounded by enemy troops (by some sources, Muslim Arabs). Andrew and his disciple Epiphanus testified that they saw the Holy Virgin surrounded by many angels and Saints, praying and extending her Omophorion (protection) over the faithful. After this vision, Constantinople was saved when its attackers retreated. That vision and the avoidance of Constantinople's destruction that was attributed to it inspired the creation of one of the most famous Eastern Orthodox holidays: the feast of the Protection of the Theotokos. Andrew died in 936. His memory is commemorated by Eastern Orthodox communities on October 15 (Oct. 2 old calendar). The earliest manuscript of his Greek hagiography, the Life of Andrew the Fool, is a quire in Munich in a 10th-century uncial script. The work was also translated into Georgian and Slavonic. (en)
  • André de Constantinople, ou André le Fou, ou André Salos, est un personnage de l'hagiographie byzantine, saint du calendrier de l'Église orthodoxe, fêté le 2 octobre dans le calendrier julien (15 octobre dans le calendrier grégorien) et qualifié de « fol-en-Christ » (en grec « σαλός »). Le manuscrit retraçant sa vie, attribué à Nicéphore Ier de Constantinople, prêtre de la basilique Sainte-Sophie, pourrait être un faux et avoir été écrit autour du Xe siècle. Le texte, intitulé La vie d’André le fou, composé en grec sous forme de long roman a été traduit et édité par le chercheur Lennart Ryden en 1995 de l’Université d’Upssala. Le récit raconte la vie et les visions de ce fou du Christ ainsi que son voyage au paradis et sa rencontre avec Dieu. (fr)
