Yurodivye (English spelling)

Japanese: ユロージビー(英語表記)yurodivye
Yurodivye (English spelling)
A wandering madman who appeared in Russian monastic life. In Eastern Christian monastic life, complete solitude was sought for ascetic practices, and the life of a hermit was considered one ideal, but the idea arose that complete solitude could be achieved in secular life by pretending to be insane. Monks who adopted strange and unconventional lifestyles or pretended to be insane out of love for Christ were called saloi in Greek, and they appeared in large numbers in the East, especially in Syria. Representative figures are the 6th century Egyptian hermit Symeōn Salos, and the early 10th century Scythian Andreas Salos of Constantinople, famous for the legend that the Virgin Mary appeared to him while he was praying.

ロシアの修道生活に現れた遍歴の佯狂(ようきよう)行者。東方キリスト教の修道生活においては,修行のために完全な孤独を求め,隠修士の生活がひとつの理想とされたが,世俗の生活にあっても狂人をよそおえば完全な孤独が得られるとの考えが生まれた。キリストへの愛のために常識はずれの奇妙な生活態度をとったり,狂人のふりをする修道士はギリシア語でサロイsaloiと呼ばれ,東方,特にシリアに多数現れた。代表的人物は,6世紀のエジプトの隠修士シメオン・サロスSymeōn Salos,また祈禱の際に聖母マリアが出現したとの伝説で名高い10世紀前半のコンスタンティノープルのスキタイ人アンドレアス・サロスAndreas Salosである。
