Page "Stanislaus of Szczepanów" Paragraph 17

The cult of Saint Stanisław the martyr began immediately upon his death.

In 1245 his relics were translated ( i. e., moved ) to Kraków's Wawel Cathedral.

In the early 13th century, Bishop Iwo Odrowąż initiated preparations for Stanisław's canonization and ordered Wincenty of Kielce to write the martyr's vita.

On September 17, 1253, at Assisi, Stanisław was canonized by Pope Innocent IV.
