| Aanvullende informatie |
Casimir Jagiellon, born 1458, became the only Polish-Lithuanian royal prince to be canonized, a process finally completed by Pope Paul VI in 1984 — making this 2008 issue a commemoration arriving just over two decades after that long-delayed Vatican recognition. He died at Grodno in 1484 at around twenty-five, likely from tuberculosis, and his cult had been active in Vilnius for centuries before Rome made it official.
Lithuania adopted him as its patron saint, a designation carrying particular political weight given the Soviet suppression of religious observance throughout the occupation decades preceding independence in 1990.
