	Olga of Kiev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint Olga (Russian and Ukrainian: Ольга, also called Olga Prekrasa [Ольга Прекраса], or Olga the Beauty, Old Norse: Helga; died July 11, 969, Kiev) was a Pskov woman of Varangian extraction who married the future Igor of Kiev, arguably in 903.
		Olga was one of the first people of Rus to be proclaimed saint, for her efforts to spread the Christian religion in the country.
		In the various fortune of their piratical adventures, some Russian chiefs might allow themselves to be sprinkled with the waters of baptism; and a Greek bishop, with the name of metropolitan, might administer the sacraments in the church of Kiow, to a congregation of slaves and natives.
