Olga was of noble origin, and the members of her royal family sensed the fragrant aroma of wisdom and courage concealed in the depths of her young soul.
Olga was not yet "the child of her Father who is in Heaven" (Matth, 5, 45) and was not enlightened by the words of the Gospel: "Do good to them that hate you, love your enemies." So she took revenge and had the Drevlyans' fortress burned down.
Princess Olga manifested a virtue which seems incredible to modern man. She was always occupied with earthly matters, constantly carrying the burden of personal responsibility for every thing she spoke or did and although most of the time she was surrounded by suspicious and envious people, she was always calm, wise and merciful.
