Today I learned about Good King Wenceslas. His dad died when he was 13. His grandma had taken him into her care and taught him about the gospel. His mom didn't like that. So she had the grandma strangled to death. Then she took him into her care again. But he still prayed and lived how his grandmother taught him. They banished his mom because of what she did and he became the king. Because he was so kind he let his mom come back and forgave her for what she did to his grandma. He was a really nice king. He served everybody. He took people food and helped them. He gave clothes to poor people and he freed slaves. One day his brother invited him to a party. People warned him that his brother might hurt or kill him, but he still went. His brother raised a sword against him, but he didn't kill him. He forgave his brother. Then some other people attacked him and stuck swords into him and he died. He is remembered because he was so nice to everyone. He died in 929 A.D.
