Procopius of Ustyug was a merchant from Lübeck who lived as a fool for Christ. Originally a Roman Catholic, he converted to Eastern Orthodoxy while traveling. He is recognized as a wonderworker, having reportedly predicted a meteorite strike, a tornado, and a fire near Veliky Ustyug in 1290. He died in 1303, and his life as a holy fool is celebrated within the Eastern Orthodox tradition.
