Description: "An art historical/contextual study of various representations of the Russian/Ukrainian saints Boris and Gleb, the first saints to be canonized after the country's Christianization. They were martyred between 1015-19 and buried in the Vyshhorod Cathedral. They are traditionally represented as two young princes, holding either a martyr's cross or armed with swords or spears."--Publisher's website.
