Saint Casimir 

Mindaugas was considered to be the unifier of Lithuanian lands and territories. He brought Christianity by being baptized in 1251. On July 6, 1253, he was crowned the first Grand Duke and only king of Lithuania at the Vilnius Cathedral by decree of Pope Innocent IV. This was the beginning of the Lithuanian state, an independent nation among other European countries. July 6 is observed as a national holiday.
