"As a beautiful fruit of the sowing of Thy salvation, the land of Russia offers to Thee, O Lord, all the Saints that have shone in it. By their prayers keep the Church and our land in deep peace, through the Mother of God, O Most Merciful One." - Troparion for the Sunday of All Saints of Rus’
During his apostolic travels, while sailing on the Dnieper River, the Apostle Andrew said to his disciples, “Do you see these mountains? On these mountains the grace of God will shine. There will be a great city, and God will raise up many churches there.” He then planted a cross on top of a hill on the bank of the river. As the first millennium of Christianity drew to a close, this prophesy was fulfilled in the founding of the Monastery of the Kiev Caves and the Baptism of Rus’ in 988. For the next thousand years until this very day, the lands of Rus’ have produced a bountiful harvest of saints from right-believing princes, holy hierarchs and missionaries to ascetics, righteous ones, fools-for-Christ, and innumerable holy martyrs.
Having published two compilations of lives of saints of America and Switzerland, Holy Trinity Publications is pleased to announce the release of a two-volume set of the Lives of the Saints of Rus’. Originally published in France in 1977, a second edition was published in Jordanville in 1983 to include the lives of many New Martyrs of Russia. Now, we are offering these essential volumes for the first time in English translation to honor the memory of these saints whose legacy spreads far beyond the lands in which they labored.
