St. Olga of Kwethluk
America's first Orthodox female saint!
She reposed in the Lord on November 8, 1979, at home in Kwethluk, surrounded by her family. Her funeral was unlike any other. Though it was already deep winter, a sudden, unseasonal warmth came upon the land. The river ice softened, allowing mourners from distant villages to arrive by boat—something unheard of in November. Birds that should have long migrated south appeared in the sky, circling over the funeral procession. Those present felt as if all of creation had come to honor this quiet, humble woman.
