________________________________
Olga was a native Alaskan of Yup'ik origin and the wife of an Orthodox priest in Kwethluk village, on the Kuskokwim River. During her life she was known for her compassionate love and the care she showered on those who had suffered any kind of abuse, especially sexual. Despite her family's poverty, she was generous to those who were poorer, even giving away her children's clothing to the needy. She loved to knit and clothed many with her handiwork. She was a skilled midwife and healer, and was known for her ability to tell when a woman was pregnant, even before the woman herself knew.
Veneration for her has increased steadily since her death. Some consider her a patroness and healer for those who have been sexually abused.
