Failing to do this, you may be sure that you will not be called a Christian or a son of the Church. Indeed, in the royal palace, after the faith itself, the Church holds second place, first constituted and spread through the whole world by His members, the apostles and holy fathers, And though she always produced fresh offspring, nevertheless in certain places she is regarded as ancient. However, dearest son, even now in our kingdom the Church is proclaimed as young and newly planted; and for that reason she needs more prudent and trustworthy guardians lest a benefit which the divine mercy bestowed on us undeservedly should be destroyed and annihilated through your idleness, indolence or neglect.</p><div class="templatequotecite">— <cite>Stephen's <i>Admonitions</i> to his son, Emeric<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEO'Malley199546–47_196-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEO'Malley199546–47-196"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>196<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></cite></div></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="In_arts">In arts</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Stephen_I_of_Hungary&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: In arts"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:%D0%A1%D0%B2%D1%98%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81_%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%98%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3_%D1%83_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%82%D0%B8_%D1%85%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B5_%D1%83_%D0%91%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%83.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A mumified hand, with a strip decorated with pearls on it, in a gilded box" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/%D0%A1%D0%B2%D1%98%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81_%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%98%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3_%D1%83_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%82%D0%B8_%D1%85%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B5_%D1%83_%D0%91%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%83.jpg/220px-%D0%A1%D0%B2%D1%98%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81_%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%98%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3_%D1%83_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%82%D0%B8_%D1%85%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B5_%D1%83_%D0%91%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%83.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="224" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/%D0%A1%D0%B2%D1%98%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81_%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%98%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3_%D1%83_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%82%D0%B8_%D1%85%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B5_%D1%83_%D0%91%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%83.jpg/330px-%D0%A1%D0%B2%D1%98%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81_%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%98%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3_%D1%83_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%82%D0%B8_%D1%85%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B5_%D1%83_%D0%91%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%83.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/%D0%A1%D0%B2%D1%98%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81_%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%98%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3_%D1%83_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%82%D0%B8_%D1%85%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B5_%D1%83_%D0%91%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%83.jpg/440px-%D0%A1%D0%B2%D1%98%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81_%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%98%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3_%D1%83_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%82%D0%B8_%D1%85%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B0_%D0%A1%D0%B2._%D0%A1%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B5_%D1%83_%D0%91%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%83.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2716" data-file-height="2768" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Church_of_Saint_Sava" title="Church of Saint Sava">Church of Saint Sava</a>, <a href="/wiki/Belgrade" title="Belgrade">Belgrade</a></figcaption></figure> <p>King St Stephen has been a popular theme in <a href="/wiki/Hungarian_poetry" class="mw-redirect" title="Hungarian poetry">Hungarian poetry</a> since the end of the 13th century.<sup id="cite_ref-Pomogats_197-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pomogats-197"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>197<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The earliest poems were religious <a href="/wiki/Hymn" title="Hymn">hymns</a> which portrayed the holy king as the apostle of the Hungarians.
