Summary/Abstract: Poland adopted Christianity in 966. From the very beginning of the new religion in Poland, all the faithful were encouraged to strive for holiness, especially religious and priests. The first Poles, counted among the saints, were born in the same century in which Poland adopted Christianity. Over the centuries, there were more people who were canonized. The first Polish saints will be presented in the article. We will show Poles who have been counted among the saints from the 10th to the 15th century.
