Saint Casimir Day Honored in Timeless Stained Glass

A beloved reminder of Saint Casimir, who is the patron of Poland and Lithuania is “Peace is not won by war; sometimes a comfortable peace is not even won by virtue, but Christ’s peace can penetrate every government repression of religion.” Casimir Jagiellon was born in Poland in 1458 and was third in line for the Polish throne, the son of King Casimir IV and Queen Elisabeth Hapsburg of Hungary. Young Casimir, however, developed a devotion to God and to a life of Christian service at a very young age, and remained a kind and thoughtful child and young man, even in the face of strife.

At the age of nine, Casimir began to study under Jan Dlugosz, who placed great emphasis on ethics, Christian devotion and morals. Greatly influenced by Dlugosz, Casimir dedicated his life to the service of God, vowing to remain celibate. Although he accepted a command to lead an army in an attempt to capture neighboring Hungary for his father, but after months of hunger and pestilence, lack of funding and support, the campaign failed and Casimir returned home, still only 15 years old, and vowed never to fight again. He did, however, serve a brief term as King of Poland but devoted himself to religious studies and works, even refusing to marry the daughter of the Emperor, until his death from illness at the age of only 26. His feast day is celebrated on March 4 and he is especially revered by Polish Catholics.
