Thousands of Orthodox worshippers gathered in Kiev on Thursday, to commemorate the anniversary of the Baptism of Kyivan Rus.
People from all across the country participated in the march through the capital, from St. Vladimir's Cathedral to Saint Volodymyr Hill, where they held prayer service.
Kievan Rus was a federation of East Slavic tribes in Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century under the reign of the Rurik dynasty. At its greatest extent it stretched from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south. Vladimir the Great (980-1015) introduced Christianity with his own baptism in 988, being this the 1028 anniversary of the Christianisation.
