Pros and cons of him being moved to Saint Kazimierz? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 23:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd want to see English-language sources that spell his name that way, before signing off on it. Until then, I'd say keep it as Casimir. --Elonka 23:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

To one and all: Be serious! Dr. Dan 23:57, 14 June 2006 (UTC) p.s. I recently read that he was also a Patron Saint of Russia, in a scholarly Roman Catholic Encyclopedia about Saints. What up?

Never heard of that ... strange. linas 03:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lilly

Article should mention that he is always depicted holding a lily, symbolizing that he died a virgin. Legend has it that in his final illness, doctors recommended that he have sex, which would cure him, but he refused this therapy. (I think having died a virgin helped his case for canonization, so this is presumably noted by the Church.) He is also frequently depicted with three hands, two right hands (each holding a lily), this in addition to the usual left hand -- see picture in this article-- this has some significance, I don't remember what. Finally, he is frequently depicted with one foot resting on a lion(?), which also has some certain significance (that he was so gentle, that even lions were gentle around him???) linas 03:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
