Wenceslaus, also known as Vyacheslav, was formed in Christian faith by his grandmother Ludmilla. As a young ruler in Bohemia, he supported churches and the religious instruction of his people. The OCA life describes him as educated and peace-loving, and remembers his foundation of a church dedicated to Vitus in Prague. Political rivalry within his family ended in his murder near a church as he went to morning worship. His body was later brought to Prague. Orthodox Christians honor him as a martyr, remembering a lay ruler whose public responsibilities were joined to devotion and the search for peaceful government.
