Lives of the Saints of Rus': A Legacy of Holiness

The choir of saints of Holy Rus' represents the fruit of the Holy Spirit brought forth over a millennium of Christian life, even before the 10th century conversion of the Great-Prince Vladimir of Kiev. This inheritance has enriched and edified not only the saints' own kinsmen, but the whole world. This daily synaxarion organizes the lives of a multitude of Russian saints by their days of commemoration according to the Church calendar, with those commemorated from January to June in the first volume.
