Our father among the saints and The holy [[martyr]] '''Wenceslas''' (or '''Wenceslaus''') (born 907, died [[September 28]], 935 or 929) was the son of Vratislaus I, Duke of Bohemia. His father was raised in a Christian milieu through his father, Borivoj, who was converted by Saints [[Cyril and Methodius]], the "Apostles to the Slavs". His mother, Drahomira, however, was the daughter of a tribal chief who held on to paganism, as did many Czech nobles at the time, fearing that the arrival of Christian bishops would threaten their authority. Wenceslaus himself was martyred and is venerated as a [[saint]].
