Abstract
The veneration of St Bruno of Querfurt has never been particularly prominent in Lithuania. Until the very beginning of the twenty-first century Lithuania had no church, chapel or altar dedicated to the saint. Neither were the images of this martyr saint known except those in the seventeenth-century cycle of fresco scenes in the Camaldolese monastery in Pažaislis. Nevertheless, St Bruno, generally known as St Boniface, the apostle of Rus’, has been mentioned in the liturgical calendars of Lithuanian dioceses and religious orders and also in various Polish and Lithuanian lives of saints since the late seventeenth century. The present paper deals with the liturgical and hagiographical aspects of the saint’s veneration.
