Andrew of Totma was a seventeenth-century religious figure within the Russian Orthodox Church. Born in the countryside near the town of Totma, he was named after Saint Andrew Stratelates. Following the example found in the Gospels, he departed from his parents to live in desolate areas. After discovering that his parents had passed away, he traveled from Ust-Tolshma to reside at the Monastery of Galic. He eventually became a holy fool, also known as a yurodivy, before settling in Totma.
