6:51p	Благоюродив бысть от чрева матери своея https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VI_of_England#Posthumous_cult Miracles were attributed to the king, and he was informally regarded as a saint and martyr, addressed particularly in cases of adversity. The anti-Yorkist cult was encouraged by Henry Tudor, as dynastic propaganda. A volume was compiled of the miracles attributed to him at St George's Chapel, Windsor, where Richard III had reinterred him, and Henry VII began building a chapel at Westminster Abbey to house Henry VI's relics. A number of Henry VI's miracles possessed a political dimension, such as his cure of a young girl afflicted with the King's evil, whose parents refused to bring her to the usurper, Richard III. By the time of Henry VIII's break with Rome, canonisation proceedings were under way. Hymns to him still exist, and until the Reformation his hat was kept by his tomb at Windsor, where pilgrims would put it on to enlist Henry's aid against migraines. Numerous miracles were credited to the dead king т.е. практически аналог нашего Феодора Иоанновича оба слабоумные, оба невоинственные https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D1%91%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80_%D0%98%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87#.D0.92_.D0.9F.D1.80.D0.B0.D0.B2.D0.BE.D1.81.D0.BB.D0.B0.D0.B2.D0.BD.D0.BE.D0.B9_.D0.A6.D0.B5.D1.80.D0.BA.D0.B2.D0.B8 Почитание блаженного Царя началось вскоре после его кончины: святой Патриарх Иов (†1607) составил «Повесть о честном житии царя Федора Иоанновича», уже с начала XVII века известны иконные изображения святого Феодора в нимбе. В «Книге глаголемой описание о Российских святых» (1-я половина XVII века) Царь Феодор поставлен в лике Московских чудотворцев. В некоторых рукописных святцах в числе Московских святых указана и его супруга, царица Ирина, во иночестве Александра (†1603). Память святого Феодора совершается в день его преставления 7 (20) января и в Неделю перед 26 августа (8 сентября) в Соборе Московских святых (2 Comments | Comment on this)
10:37p	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Clement_VII#Appearance During his half-year imprisonment in 1527, Clement VII grew a full beard as a sign of mourning for the sack of Rome. This was in contradiction to Catholic canon law, which required priests to be clean-shaven; however, it had the precedent of the beard which Pope Julius II had worn for nine months in 1511–12 as a similar sign of mourning for the loss of the papal city of Bologna. Unlike Julius II, however, Clement VII kept his beard until his death in 1534. His example in wearing a beard was followed by his successor, Paul III, and indeed by twenty-four popes who followed him, down to Innocent XII, who died in 1700. Clement VII was thus the unintentional originator of a fashion that lasted well over a century. забавно, что именно в Ренессанс вернулось древлее благочестие всегда подозревал, что именно Возрождение было истинной консервативной революцией, а все последующие эпохи только пытались косплеить (Comment on this)
