This Saint Olga of Kyiv prayer card commemorates the princess of Rus (c. 890–969), the first ruler of the region to accept Christianity and one of the most influential women in Eastern Christian history. Though her people remained largely pagan during her reign, her conversion prepared the way for her grandson, Saint Volodymyr the Great, to baptize the nation. For her pioneering role, the Church honors her as Equal-to-the-Apostles.
Saint Olga is venerated in the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Byzantine Catholic communities, and the Orthodox Church as a holy forerunner of Christianity in Eastern Europe. Her life is a testimony to the power of faith, perseverance, and preparation for God’s work across generations.
This prayer card is ideal for personal devotion, parish settings, or as a meaningful gift, especially for those devoted to the Eastern Catholic tradition, women saints, and the Christian heritage of Ukraine.
