Euphrosyne of Polotsk (Belarusian: Еўфрасіння Полацкая; 1104–1167) was the granddaughter of Vseslav, the prince of Polotsk, and daughter of Prince Prince Svyatoslav (Georgy) Vseslavich [ru] of Vitebsk. She has long been a popular saint among Orthodox devotees, particularly those in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia with a traditional feast day of May 23. In addition, since 1984, she has been one of the 15 patron saints of Belarus, whose lives are celebrated in the Belarusian Orthodox Church, on the first Sunday after Pentecost.
