Location: Optional Memorial

Greatly revered in his native Poland, this saint, also known as John Cantius, spent most of his life teaching at the University of Krakow, where he was a noted professor of sacred Scripture. A personal austerity contributed to his reputation for holiness: He ate no meat and slept on the floor. Learn more from Saint of the Day or find this saint on the 2024 Share Your Light Advent Calendar.
