Meet North America’s First Native Woman Saint

Did you hear? Olga Michael, a Yup’ik midwife and mom of 13 from rural Alaska, just became the first female Orthodox saint from North America! She was famous for comforting women through heartbreak and loss, and her kindness touched people far beyond her tiny village. Her sainthood is a huge deal for both women and Indigenous communities in the church. Now, her remote hometown is set to become a pilgrimage spot. Imagine your grandma becoming a saint! #SaintOlga #IndigenousHistory #WomenInFaith #Religion
