Saints Boris Gleb were the first Saints of the Kievan Rus after its Christianisation. They had pure and innocent hearts and loved God very much. Their eldest brother, Sviatopolk planned to kill his brothers so that he could take power over all of their father’s inheritance after his death. First, he sent assassins to Alta to kill Boris while he was praying and asking for forgiveness for his older brother. Once Sviatopolk had killed Boris, he began to look for ways to kill his other brother, Gleb. He sent him a message saying that supposedly their father was very sick and wished to see him. But their other brother Yaroslav reminded him while on the road toward the house of their father that their father had already died and that Sviatopolk had murdered their other brother. Saint Gleb began to weep for his father and brother, and while he was mourning, assassins arrived and killed him. His body was buried next to his brother Boris in the Church of Saint Basil. Their memory is honoured on the 24th of July and the 6th of August respectively. Work of ARTIS GILDING AND RESTORING.
