Saint of the Day, September 28: Saint Wenceslaus

St. Wenceslaus (907-929): Wenceslaus was made king of Bohemia when his father was killed during a pagan backlash against Christianity. While king, he took a vow of virginity and was known for his virtues. Many stone churches were built during his reign. For religious and political reasons, he was murdered by his brother and hacked into pieces.
