SAINT WENCESLAUS

King and Martyr

c.907-935

Feastday - September 28



    GOOD KING WENCESLAUS-we all hear this song at Christmas time. It's a disappointment to find that the nineteenth century author, Neale, who wrote the carol, only used the name of Wenceslaus because it suited his music. But the true Wenceslaus was good, and he was a king.

   Wenceslaus was born in 907 near Prague, in Bohemia (now part of Czechoslovakia). His parents were Vratislas and Drahomira, king and queen of Bohemia. His grandmother, Saint Ludmila, asked that she might educate the young prince, and along with his Slavic language he was taught to love God. His father later sent him to the Latin school at Budec. When his father was killed fighting against the Magyars, Wenceslaus was called upon to rule the country. Since he was still young, Queen Drahomira became regent and governed Bohemia. Drahomira had been but a nominal Christian, and now that all restraint was gone, tried to suppress Christianity and did all she could to persuade Wenceslaus to renounce the faith. Much of her action against Christians came about because of the influence of some evil noblemen who still clung to the traditional pagan sacrifices.

   Saint Ludmila became alarmed at the persecution of Christianity and urged Wenceslaus to wrest the government from his mother. Learning this, two nobles went to Ludmila's castle and strangled her. Deprived of her support, Wenceslaus waited until he came of age to rule Bohemia.

   The political policy of the saint was to maintain unity, so he cultivated friendly relations with the German emperor. He desired a peaceful Bohemia. On one occasion, when a neighboring tribe led by a certain duke raided the country, Wenceslaus suggested that he and the duke might settle the issue by single combat, thus sparing the blood of many soldiers. just as his adversary was about to throw a javelin at him, he saw a brilliant cross shining on the forehead of Wenceslaus and threw down his weapon.

   One of his first official acts was to establish liberty of conscience in an attempt to quiet the unrest of pagan nobles. "If God bores you, why forbid others to love Him?" he asked them. He himself desired to love God above all things and with all his heart. He welcomed the Bavarian and Swabian priests who came with books and relics. He built churches, notably that of Saint Guy at Prague. As for himself he wore penitential garments under his royal robes, and spent many nights in prayer, especially to thank God for His blessings. He kept a very strict fast in Lent, and more than once made a pilgrimage, barefoot along the icy roads.

   The policy of unity, together with the promotion of Christianity, gained Wenceslaus many enemies especially among the heathens. He thought of abdicating to enter a monastery, giving the throne to his brother Boleslas, but he wished first to finish building a church at Prague in honor of Saint Vitus. Boleslas joined with the king's enemies and together they formed a plot against him. Wenceslaus was invited to his brother's residence at Boleslava and it was planned to assassinate him at a banquet. But the murderers hesitated, and decided to wait until the next morning. On September 28, 935, as Wenceslaus was going to Mass, Boleslas attacked him with a sword. The brothers struggled, but three other rebels rushed up and killed the king. As the good Wenceslaus died, he murmured, "Brother, may God forgive you."

   Boleslas became terrified when he heard of the many miracles credited to Wenceslaus at his tomb in Boleslava near his own chateau and consented to transfer his body to the Church of Saint Vitus at Prague. The saint was honored as a martyr, and since 985 his feast has been observed in Bohemia. He is venerated as a patron of Czechoslovakia.
