Saint Svyatoslav

Question: 

Could you please tell me if there is a Saint Svyatoslav or some other variation of this name.
Answer:  

Dr. Alexander Roman alex@unicorne.org

There are two Saints with the name "Svyatoslav."

One is a monk of the Kyivan Caves Lavra who was formerly a Prince in the world, Saint Syatoslav of the Principality of Chernihiv known also as "St Svyatosha."

His life is written up in the Patericon of the Kyivan Saints Lavra and he is especially commemorated on the Second Sunday of Lent and also on the Second Sunday after Pentecost.

A recently glorified Svyatoslav was the Kyivan Sovereign and King of Ukraine, Saint Svyatoslav II (not to be confused with the pagan son of St Olha, Svyatoslav the Warrior). This Saint is also commemorated on the Second Sunday after Pentecost.
