Prayers
Kontakion: O God of our Fathers, ever act with us in accordance with Your kindness. Take not away Your Mercy from us; but through the supplications of Saint Olga, guide our lives in peace.

By your fasting, vigil and prayers, you were inspired in your evangelical life. You fed the hungry, and you cared for the poor. You served as a midwife, and you brought babies into the world. You nurtured children, and you clothed all those in need. Now, O Holy Olga, you stand at the right-hand of Christ the Master, and you intercede for our Souls.
Saint Olga struggled in the early years of her marriage, but despite the great conflicts she had with her husband, she continually Prayed for him. Her husband began to go to turn to Christ, was Baptised, and he became a Priest.

Saint Olga worked hard raising her children, making Vestments and baking Prosphoras. She would also go to the homes of others to cook and clean for them and also made boots, parkas, socks and mittens for the Parishioners of her husband’s Church. She also travelled with her husband and worked as a midwife for those having babies, and she knew if a lady was pregnant before she knew herself.
