The holy rizhiner wore golden shoes with no bottoms and would bleed from his feet. He showed malchus from the exterior, because his avodah was that of rabbeinu hakodosh – when rebbe yehudah hanasi was niftar, he rose his hands and swore that despite his regal estate, he never enjoyed this world with even his pinky finger… the heiligeh rizhiner did the same when he was niftar
