Life Blessed
should say a few words about the way the earthly Holy Xenia of Petersburg.Where and when she was born, is not known.But if we proceed from the fact that she was married to Andrei Fedorovich Petrov, Colonel, it becomes clear that Xenia was from a good family.Nothing more can be said about how she lived until the death of the spouse.
In twenty-six years this woman was a widow.She decided to give his property to the poor and needy people.Her relatives were in disbelief, they appealed to the heads of the deceased spouse, asking to reason a distraught woman.But the officials, interviewed Ksenia Grigorievna, came to the conclusion that it is in the understanding.After that the woman had the right to dispose of the inheritance in its sole discretion.
