No Feast for Me (The Day-Spring)
Olha dies on 11 July 969 and is buried by the priest Gregory with no pagan funeral feast; her grandson Volodymyr later moves her body into his Tithe Church; in 1240 Batu's Mongols destroy Kyiv and her tomb; in 1547 the Russian Church names her Equal to the Apostles. Fact: the death date, the Christian burial, the 1240 sack and the 1547 canonisation. Legend: the incorrupt body found by Volodymyr comes from a fifteenth-century life, and 'day-spring before the sun' is the Chronicle's own eulogy. The series is called Olha of Kyiv after the subject's historical name; the city is Kyiv.
