Saint Casimir (Latin: Casimirus; Lithuanian: Kazimieras; Polish: Kazimierz) (†1484) was a prince of the Kingdom of Poland and of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. He became known for his piety, devotion to God, and generosity towards the sick and poor. He became ill (most likely with tuberculosis) and died at the age of 25. He was buried in Vilnius Cathedral. His canonization was initiated by his brother King Sigismund I the Old in 1514 and the tradition holds that he was canonized in 1521. Veneration of Casimir saw a resurgence in the 17th century when the pope confirmed his feast day in 1602 and the dedicated Chapel of Saint Casimir was completed in 1636. Casimir became a patron saint of Lithuania and Lithuanian youth. In Vilnius, his feast day is marked annually with Kaziuko mugė (a trade fair) held on the Sunday nearest to 4 March, the anniversary of his death. There are more than 50 churches named after Casimir in Lithuania and Poland, including Church of St. Casimir, Vilnius and St. Kazimierz Church, Warsaw, and more than 50 churches in Lithuanian and Polish diaspora communities in America.
Round yellow-metal glass-fronted reliquary theca housing first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Casimir. The relic is affixed to a red silk ground and identified in Latin on a typeset cedula label as S. Casimiri Reg. C. (Saint Casimir, Royal & Confessor). On the back, under a protective cap, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Monsignor Petrus Canisius van Lierde († 1995), the Vicar General for the Vatican City State (1951–1991). The reliquary is accompanied by the original matching authentics document issued by the Vicar General of Rome in 1990.
