Today the Holy Church commemorates the Martyrs Boris & Gleb. His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry has asked all Orthodox believers to entreat the prayers of these great favorites of God for peace in Ukraine. They gave up their lives rather than engage in a fratricidal war and thus are excellent examples for those in political power in our days - that all should strive for peace - even at a high price. Please read the lives of these saints below - and please ask their prayers before the throne of the Lord for peace in Ukraine.
