What is Celebrated on July 15 - Three Important Holidays for Ukrainians
On July 15 according to the new calendar, the memory of St. Vladimir the Great, who brought Christianity to Kyiv Rus, is celebrated. This is also the day of the Baptism of Rus, which changed the history of the Ukrainian state in 988. Additionally, on this day, the Day of Ukrainian Statehood is celebrated, which was established in 2021.
Prince Vladimir the Great, the son of Svyatoslav and the grandson of Princess Olga, accepted Christianity and is known as a merciful ruler of Rus. He built churches, abolished the death penalty, and founded the first schools.
How the Baptism of Rus Changed History
The Baptism of Rus under Prince Vladimir helped integrate the state into the European Christian environment, contributed to the development of culture and education, and opened new horizons for Ukrainian statehood.
Today, festive liturgies in honor of Prince Vladimir are held in churches, where he is congratulated on his name day, and events for the Day of Ukrainian Statehood are also conducted.
