Oleg's name day according to the church calendar falls on October 3rd. On this day, it is customary to congratulate men bearing this glorious name. Let's take a closer look.
Saint patron Oleg
Prince Bryansky with the same name was canonized for his deep unshakable faith, to which he devoted his whole life. By right of inheritance, he was to reign in his possessions. But he considered that serving the Lord requires something else from him. He founded the Bryansk Monastery. There he spent his life as a monk. He is commemorated on October 3, so the date of Oleg's name day falls on this day. The feat of the prince was that he was able to give up power and all the corresponding privileges. In the thirteenth century, this was a completely atypical and even incomprehensible step for others. Leaving a high post and becoming a simple monk is a decisive act. Therefore, Oleg's name day is considered a holiday of a meek but steadfast person, capable of an act with a capital letter. The saint was sure that physical goods do not have the same value as spiritual ones. Therefore, the monastery was built at his own expense.
When did Oleg's name day begin to be celebrated?
The Saint has been venerated since 1900. Initially, the decision was made by the city of Bryansk. The Duma declared October 3 a non-trading day. In those days, no business was conducted on holidays. In 1903, the day of memory of Prince Bryansk entered the calendar of Russian saints. Since then, Oleg's name day has been celebrated. It must be said that the relics of the saint, which are now in the monastery, were preserved from desecration in the early 30s. Then the churches were destroyed, the very concept of faith was destroyed. Naturally, such a relic as holy relics could be lost forever. From the times of unbelief and distemper, they were hidden in the Vvedensky Church. At the same time, the people who participated in the “operation” swore not to reveal secrets to anyone. Only in 1995 the secret was revealed. The holy relics were returned to the believers.

Before becoming a monk, he himself took part in military campaigns and accomplished many feats, becoming famous for his courage and courage.
