Dear Friends,

Many years to all who celebrate their Namesday of St Ihor today!

"Ihor" or "Igor" is a form of "George" or "eor" in the centre of that name.

There is St Ihor the Grand Prince of Kyiv and Passion-bearer, often commemorated with Sts. Boris and Hlib.

There is also the Russian New Martyr St Igor-George of Spas-Chekriak Village.
