Saint Oleg was a prince of Kievan Rus who lived in the 10th century. Although little is known about his life, Oleg is venerated as one of the first Christian rulers of Kievan Rus. His decision to embrace and promote Christianity played a significant role in the Christianization of the region. Oleg is especially honored for his efforts to foster peace and unity among the various Slavic tribes.
Oleg is the patron saint of rulers and defenders of the faith. His devotion to Christianity and his role in introducing the faith to Kievan Rus make him an important saint in Orthodox tradition. Many Orthodox Christians, particularly in Russia and Ukraine, pray to him for protection and guidance during times of political or spiritual uncertainty.
