Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

St. Stanislaus, bishop of Cracow, died as a martyr in 1079 as a result of a conflict with Boleslaus II, the king of Poland. Stanislaus was canonised in 1253, and the city of Cracow became the centre of his cult, which in the course of the Middle Ages spread throughout Poland and to neighbouring countries. The holy bishop became the patron-saint of Poland, one of the symbols and icons of Polish history, and the respect and devotion towards him is still very much alive in Poland today.

This study examines the preaching on the martyr-bishop and the relationship between the sermons, the construction of his image and the operation, spread, and functions of his cult. It offers a comprehensive an
