Confession of Faith

St. Hilarion stands among some of the earliest saints of the Kievan church, helping to firmly root the Orthodox Christian faith in the Eurasian plain in Russia, Belarus and the Ukraine. While little is known historically about his life, this work, his magnum opus, grants a window into the Byzantine confession of faith as it was known in the early 11th century. It stands as one of the oldest surviving eastern Slavic texts.
