    Got married on the feast day of St. Xenia (Feb. 06). In a way, she is a patron of our family. It wasn't planned (by us), but someone above surely had a hand in that.

      I think it's referencing this event from the Bible when the Prophet Elisha (Elijah's friend) was mocked.
      "23And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. 25And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria." -4 Kingdoms (2 Kings)

      It is also a unlawful to work on the sabbath, but sometimes for the sake of righteousness there are higher purposes than the law. St. Xenia is not the only female saint who took on masculine roles at times for the cause of Christ.

    Saint Xenia... The trans-non-sexual? I don't even know how to call that... She dressed as a man, without sexual intentions and only holy intentions in mind... Also is walking barefoot all time just for fun drawing or a real thing?

      I didn't expect anyone to think it's anything but a joke... Sorry for making you feel bad xD
      The question on weather she was always barefooted is a real one I would ask even outside of a joke... It could be that he drew that for the simple fact to make it look light-hearted, but might be something important in the life of that saint... Despite this I said even that as a joke xD
