Saint Hyacinth, Priest and Religious
1185-1257
~ +++++++ ~
Saint Hyacinth was a Polish Dominican priest and missionary who evangelized throughout Europe, earning his title “Apostle of the North.”
Several fascinating miracles are attributed to this great saint, such as his superhuman strength during the Siege of Kiev. During the invasion, Hyacinth rushed into the chapel and carried the ciborium and a large, stone statue of Mary to safety.
On two other miraculous occasions, St. Hyacinth restored crops during a famine and fed the masses with pierogi, leading to the popular Polish expression, “Saint Hyacinth with his dumplings!”
Saint Hyacinth, pray for us!
