Saint Yaroslav the Wise, Holy and Faithful Prince. Wooden orthodox icon.
Saint Prince Yaroslav the Wise was born in 978 and was the son of Saint Vladimir, Equal to the Apostles, Grand Prince of Polotsk and Rogneda (in baptism: Anastasia of Polotsk).
Around 1010, he founded the city of Yaroslavl and laid the first church here in honor of the famous ascetic and fighter against paganism - Saint Elijah the Prophet. On the site of his victory over the Pechenegs in 1037, Yaroslav laid the majestic St. Sophia Cathedral in the image of St. Sophia of Constantinople, and in 1045, by his order, his son Vladimir erected St. Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod.
Yaroslav left a memory of himself by compiling a code of laws of Kievan Rus - "Russkaya Pravda", which, supplemented by his sons and grandson Vladimir Monomakh, became the legal basis for the life of the Russian people. Saint Prince Yaroslav devoted much effort to the Christian education of the people.
The Church prayerfully remembers the holy faithful Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise on February 20/March 5, the day of his blessed death.
