The Holy Martyr Lyudmila, Princess of Czechia is the wife of the Czech prince Borzyva I, the teacher of Prince Wenceslas the Saint and the regent with him. Saint Ludmila was the first patroness of the Czech state. The day of its celebration is September 16.

With St. Ludmilla, of course, is connected the capital of the Czech Republic - Prague, as well as the city of Kutna Hora, located 60 km east of Prague, and the castle Melnik, which is 37 km from Prague.

Saint Ludmila is one of the beloved saints of the Czech people. The wife of Prince Borzhivoi I, Princess Lyudmila was an ardent follower of the bishop of Moravia St. Methodius, firmly followed the Byzantine church tradition and sincerely supported the dissemination at that time of the new Slavic writing.

St. Ludmila, while still alive, at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries, was very popular among the people, and the death of the Czech defender of Orthodoxy is tragic and mysterious. Now St. Ludmila's relics rest in the cathedral of St. Vitus (Prague), the history of her life supports many chronicles, and the history of the burial is a historical fact, the reliability of which is not questioned.
