    In the 1st century, Apostle Andrew the First-Called preached the Gospel across the lands of future Rus’, traveling from south to north. On the hills of Kyiv, he erected a cross and prophesied:
    “God’s grace shall shine upon these hills. A great city will be founded here, and the Lord will raise up many churches within it.”
    According to the ancient manuscript "Opoved", after passing through the future Smolensk lands, the apostle Andrew reached Ladoga, where he sailed by boat to Valaam. Along his entire path, he raised stone crosses in those harsh lands, baptizing the people and overthrowing idols.
