The guests of the holiday will see apostle Andriy, Kyi, Shchek, Khoryv and the sister Lybyd, the Byzantine emperor, princess Olga, Kyrylo and Mefodiy and many other characters. And in the end of the parade the «hero of the occasion» prince Volodymyr the Great himself, on a battle horse will appear in front of the eyes of the cheering guests of Ancient Kyiv.
After this the ancient events related to the adoption of Christianity will be recreated in theatrical productions on the tilting-yard. The scenes from the history of Rus will come to life in front of the guests: Olga`s journey to Constantinople, Volodymyr`s choice of religion, the marriage of the prince with the sister of the Byzantine emperor Anna, the overthrow of pagan idols and others. The guests will travel through centuries and kilometers – from Kyivan Rus to Byzantium, from the XXI century to the Хth.
