Patron of Vengeance

 


St. Olga is the patron saint of  Ukraine and vengeance.  By vengeance, I mean those who want to reap vengeance, not that they do, but that they feel like it.  You see, Olga was a young mother when her husband was brutally murdered.  She took vengeance double even triple.  But that was all before her conversion to Christianity.  She turned her life and heart around when she fell in love with Jesus.  Thus she is patron of widows, converts, Ukraine, and those who feel vengeance consuming them.

BTW, her grandson was Vladimir, who some say Putin is trying to emulate.
