Life

The daughter of Prince Olshansky, Juliana died around the year 1540 as a maiden of sixteen years. Two hundred years after her death, diggers of a new grave beside the great church in the Kiev Lavra came upon the relics of this holy maiden, completely whole and incorrupt, as though she had just fallen asleep. Many miracles occurred through her relics, and Juliana herself appeared several times to various persons. One such vision was beheld by the renowned Peter Mogila.
