Saint Oleg Romanovich of Bryansk, Venerable Prince (in monasticism Vasily). Wooden orthodox icon.
This beautiful wooden Orthodox icon honors Saint Oleg of Bryansk (also known as Venerable Prince Vasily), a noble warrior-prince who exchanged earthly power for the humility of monastic life. A grandson of the Holy Martyr Prince Michael of Chernigov, Saint Oleg fought bravely in the 1274 campaign against the Lithuanians. Yet after the war, he renounced princely rule and entered the Bryansk Peter and Paul Monastery, taking the name Vasily.
There he lived as a strict ascetic—devoted to prayer, fasting, and obedience—becoming a model of repentance and Christian humility. He reposed around 1285, and his relics were honored by the faithful as those of a God-pleasing saint.
Believers turn to Saint Oleg of Bryansk for help in strengthening faith, embracing humility, and finding courage to follow God’s will even when it requires sacrifice. This icon is a profound reminder that true nobility is found not in earthly glory, but in the devotion of the heart to Christ.
