Title of article
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)
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)
Birthdate
In the body of the text, Saint Casimir's year of birth is given as 1458, but in the adjoining box, it is given as 1461. Which is correct?

WHAT offer?
The following lines from the Biography Section seem to have a missing referent, possibly as the result of a previous amendment? I.e an "offer" is mentioned that has no antecedent in the article, so it can't be determined from the article what this offer actually is.
