The Orthodox world marks the day of memory of Euphrosyne of Polotsk, the heavenly patroness of Belarus. The Divine Liturgy in St. Sophia Cathedral was held, the faithful people went to the Spaso-Euphrosyne Monastery after that.  They prayed at the monument to Euphrosyne of Polotsk and Nicholas the Wondermaker along the way. This is a special day for the nuns of the monastery, who decorated the monastery with a carpet of fresh flowers.

Euphrosyne of Polotsk is equally honored by Orthodox and Catholics. She became the first Belarusian woman to be canonized.
