Manage episode 424503345 series 2505647
Saint Olga of Kiev, a woman whose journey from vengeance to sainthood is nothing short of legendary. Born into a time of turmoil and power struggles in the 10th century, Olga's story begins with a brutal act of revenge for the murder of her husband, Igor of Kiev. Her calculated and ruthless retribution against the Drevlians, the tribe responsible for Igor's death, is the stuff of epic sagas.
But Olga's tale doesn't end with vengeance. We explore her dramatic transformation into a wise and revered ruler who laid the foundations for the Christianization of Kievan Rus'. Her baptism and subsequent efforts to convert her kingdom set the stage for the future of the region's religious landscape.
