Vladimir, the son of Svyatoslav, is commemorated by the Orthodox Church as an Equal of the Apostles. He received the Christian baptismal name Basil. The OCA account records differing chronologies for his baptism, so its precise year is not settled here. His Christian life included organized assistance for poor and sick people. He founded the church of the Tithes in Kiev and assigned a tenth of his income to its support. His commemoration remembers both his conversion and his substantial role in establishing Christian worship in his realm. These remembered actions do not reduce a complex princely life to a simple personality type.
Polychronia was the mother of the Great Martyr George. The Jerusalem Patriarchate remembers her as a native of Lydda in Palestine. The received life published by Saint Andrew Greek Orthodox Church recounts that, after her husband’s death, she returned to her homeland and raised George in the Christian faith. Her remembrance connects the saint’s childhood with the religious life of his family.
Salome was the wife of Zebedee and the mother of the apostles James and John. The calendar recalls her request that her sons receive places of honor in Christ’s kingdom and her later understanding of his reply. She was present at Christ’s suffering and crucifixion. On the morning of the Resurrection, she went to the tomb with the other myrrh-bearing women.
Moses was born among the Hebrews in Egypt and was raised in Pharaoh’s household after his mother placed him in a basket on the river. The burning bush on Horeb marked his calling to lead his people out of slavery. His life is inseparable from the Exodus, the passage through the Red Sea, the commandments, and the long journey through the wilderness. He died on Mount Nebo before entering the promised land. Orthodox worship preserves songs associated with him, and the Gospels show him beside Elijah at Christ’s Transfiguration. His leadership joins prayer, responsibility, and endurance.
Malachi is remembered as a prophet from Sophes, of the tribe of Levi, after the return from Babylonian exile. The calendar places him among the final prophets of the Old Testament and recalls his announcement of the Lord’s forerunner. His memory connects the prophetic tradition with the expectation of Christ.
Dinar was queen of Hereti in southeastern Georgia. The received Georgian account associates her with her son Ishkhanik and the kingdom’s adoption of the Orthodox faith in the tenth century. The received account also compares her story with Russian chronicles about a Georgian queen. The Georgian Church honors Dinar for her role in the region’s Christian life.
