"Šventasis Kazimieras (1458 m. spalio 3 d. Krokuvoje – 1484 m. kovo 4 d. Gardine) – šventasis, dangiškasis Lietuvos globėjas. Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštystės ir Lenkijos karalaitis. Dėl savo pamaldumo ir doro gyvenimo 1602 m. paskelbtas šventuoju. Atminimo diena – kovo 4 d."

***************
▶ Sventasis Kazimieras is the Roman Catholic patron saint of the nations of Lithuania and Poland, and of Lithuanian youth. Anglicized, he is known as Saint Casimir.

Kazimieras Jogailaitis was born on 3 October 1458, a son of Casimir Jogailaitis IV, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. His paternal grandfather was the Lithuanian Grand Duke/Polish King Jogaila, who, in 1387, had converted Lithuania from paganism to Christianity.

When Kazimieras died young, of tuberculosis, at age 25 on 4 March 1484, he already had become revered for piousness and generosity towards the sick and poor. Less than four decades later, in 1522, Pope Adrian VI canonized him as a saint."
