Summary/Abstract: Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski (1595–1640), a famous Latin poet and a Jesuit priest, delivered an oration on the 14 of July 1636, when the remains of Saint Casimir (1458–1484, canonized in 1602) were transferred to a newly built chapel in the Vilnius cathedral. An important element of the ceremony was a procession through the streets of Vilnius, which inspired the preacher to compare that city to the heavenly Jerusalem depicted in the Book of Revelation.
