Saint Wenceslaus

Born: 907 in Prague, present day Czech Republic

Died: 935

Duke of Bohemia (was pronounced King after his death), he was given a proper Christian education by his grandmother.

A faithful and devout man who was determined to set up Christian laws and principles as the basic foundation of the land.

Had to fight anti-Christian dissent within his own family, he was martyred at the hands of his own blood – his brother.

Always holy and forgiving, his final dying words were “May God forgive you, brother.”
