Blessed Michael of Klops.

Commemorated January 11 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion

From the Prologue

A fool for Christ, a Russian of princely family, he made himself a fool in order to hide his virtues from the world and escape the praise of men, and he thus received praise from God. He died in the year 1453 in the monastery of Klops near Novgorod, where his relics are preserved.
