The church calls saints people who have been honored by the church for special services to God, who have become famous for exploits of Christian love and piety. <...> Less than a century has passed since the Baptism of Russia, and the righteous began to appear in the depths of Russian religious life. They went to God in different ways: some staying in the world, others going to monasteries. The beginning of Russian holiness is connected, first of all, with Kiev, the capital city of Russia. The first Russian saints were Boris and Gleb, the sons of the Kievan Grand Duke Vladimir, who baptized Russia. Tatyana Vilinbakhova. In the Russian land, the shining ones // The Holy Lands of Russia.
