Raymond Kolbe was born in a small town in Poland in 1894. As a young boy, he had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary who offered him a choice of two crowns, one white, which represented purity, and one red, which represented martyrdom. Young Raymond said that he would take them both.
Raymond became a Franciscan priest and changed his name to Maximilian Maria in honor of Mary. He worked very hard to defend the Catholic Church against enemies and to teach people to love Mary. He helped found a monastery in Japan, a seminary, numerous magazines and newspapers, as well as a radio station. He is the only canonized Saint to have an amateur radio license.
His feast day is August 14.https://trinitystores.com/collections/st-maximilian-kolbe-mmmkb
