The holy Princes Basil and Constantine Vsevolodovich of Yaroslav.<br />
In their youth they lost their father, Vsevolod, who fell in battle with the Tatars (Mongols). <strong>St</strong><br />
Basil, the elder brother, succeeded to the throne. As prince, he had to face a multitude of concerns,<br />
tasks and sorrows. The city and the villages were devastated from the invasion of the<br />
Tatars, many households remained without shelter and food, and he had to concern himself<br />
about everything and about everyone. Besides this, it was necessary to gain the good will of the<br />
Tatar Khan, and the holy prince more than once journeyed for this reason to the Horde. He suffered<br />
also a family misfortune, the loss of his only son.<br />
All his tribulations the holy prince suffered without complaint, and he ruled the princedom, like a<br />
true Christian. He did not enter into disputes with other princes, he concerned himself with the<br />
unfortunate among his subjects, and he built churches. But soon his life, filled with many sorrows,<br />
exhausted the strength of the prince, and he took sick and died in the year 1249.<br />
After him holy Prince Constantine succeeded to the throne. He strove to imitate his brother, but<br />
to his great dismay, everywhere he saw pillage and murdering done by the Tatars. In 1257 the<br />
Tatars fell upon Yaroslavl itself. The prince came out to fight the enemy, but here in this battle<br />
he gave up his life for his country. In the year 1501 the incorrupt relics of the holy princes were<br />
uncovered and now rest in the Yaroslav cathedral.<br />
