Greek missionaries from Constantinople brought Christianity to Russia. They taught the Russians about Christianity. Among these Russians was Princess Olga, who was part of the second reason that Russia became a Christian country. She took control of the government after her husband was killed. Once she became the first woman ruler in Russia, she traveled to Constantinople, where she learned about Christianity. Olga encouraged her people to learn about Orthodox Christianity, but they did not change. Later, her grandson Prince Vladimir started ruling, and he forced the people to convert to Christianity. Because of these reasons, Russia became a Christian country.]]> 2022-01-12 22:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/c605dr3ox2m7x6jl/wish/1989214756 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/c605dr3ox2m7x6jl/wish/1989267595 Olga wanted her people to convert to  Orthodox Christianity but her people didn't want to.

Its capital was Constatinople. Greek missionaries from Constantinople brought Christianity to Russian city Kiev in about 900. This type of Christianity was called Orthodox Christianity.

Princess Olga decided to become a Christian and was not forced to become Christian, but encouraged. Vladmir sent ten people to look at other religions, and the ten people were most interested in Orthodox Christianity. 
Vladmir ordered everyone to become Orthodox Christian, and threw wooden idols in the Dneiper River to make people afraid.]]> 2022-01-13 01:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/c605dr3ox2m7x6jl/wish/1989413715 https://padlet.com/awhalen5/c605dr3ox2m7x6jl/wish/1989724808 Russia became a Christian country in two ways:

1. In Russia's south, there was an empire called "Byzantine Empire", which was the most powerful empire in the world. Greek missionaries from the capital of the city, Constantinople, during 900 came to other parts of Byzantine Empire and taught the early Russians about Christianity. This way, the Byzantine Empire became a Christian empire, in the Orthodox Christianity form in the empire.

2. Princess Olga traveled to Constantinople. When the emperor of the Byzantine Empire asked her to marry him, she rejected the offer, but instead asked to teach her about Orthodox Christianity. She was taught everything about Orthodox Christianity by a patriarch. After returning to Kiev, she encouraged her people to become Orthodox Christians. However, the people stayed with their old gods, and she did not force any of them to become Christians, even though she herself converted to Orthodox Christianity. 
However, many years later, Vladimir, grandson of Princess Olga, converted to Christianity after he discovered it from the "ten good and true men" about Orthodox Christianity. Unlike Princess Olga, he forced his people to become Orthodox Christians. He threw old idols into the Dnieper River.

This is how Russia became an Orthodox Christian country in these two ways. ]]> 2022-01-13 06:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/awhalen5/c605dr3ox2m7x6jl/wish/1989724808
