Saint Bruno of Querfurt (c. 970 – February
14, 1009), also known as Brun and Boniface, is a sainted missionary
bishop and martyr, who was beheaded near the border of Kievan Rus
and Lithuania while trying to spread Christianity in Eastern
Europe. He is also called the second Apostle of the Prussians (Old
Prussians).
Saint Bruno was beheaded on February 14, 1009,
whereas most of his companions were hanged the same day by
Prussians. Duke Boleslaus the Brave brought the bodies to Poland
(it was supposed that they were laid to rest in Przemysl, where
some historians place Bruno's diocese; such localization of the
Bruno's burial place is hardly probable because Przemysl then
belonged to Orthodox Kievan Rus through 1018). Soon after his
death, Bruno and his companions were venerated as martyrs and Bruno
was soon after canonized.
According to the historical resources he
orginated the Catholic Church named after another great saint
Lawrence of Rome on Lawrence Hill in Old Lomza.
