June 20 – St. Adalbert of Magdeburg: Missionary and first archbishop

On June 20, the Church honors St. Adalbert of Magdeburg , an important missionary bishop of the 10th century. He was born around 910 in Lorraine and was initially a Benedictine in Trier. On behalf of Emperor Otto I, he traveled to Kyiv as a missionary—a visionary step toward rapprochement between East and West. In 955, he was appointed Bishop of Magdeburg and later the first archbishop of this newly created metropolis . Adalbert was an educated theologian, a clever organizer, and a persuasive preacher. He is considered a pioneer of the Slav mission and a forerunner of German Christianity in Eastern Europe.
