Her feast day is celebrated on January 25th in the Eastern Orthodox Church, and she is considered the patron saint of students and education.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Tatiyana can be found in the Russian Primary Chronicle, a 12th-century historical text that chronicles the origins of the Kievan Rus' and the early history of the Eastern Slavic people.
