Queen Liliuokalani
Queen Liliʻuokalani, the last sovereign monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, was officially recognized and added to the global calendar of saints by the The Episcopal Church.
- Legacy of Peace: She is honored for her steadfast commitment to nonviolence, refusing to use bloodshed or armed resistance to protect her people during the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893.
- The Process: The Episcopal Diocese of Hawaiʻi initiated the sainthood process in 2014, celebrating her legacy of forgiveness, spiritual resilience, reconciliation, and justice.
- Episcopal Connection: Raised as a Protestant, she later formed a deep bond with the Anglican/Episcopal Church, was baptized and confirmed at St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Honolulu, and composed enduring sacred music, including “The Queen’s Prayer” (Ke Aloha o Ka Haku).
- Commemoration: She joins other Hawaiian monarchs like King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma who are also venerated within the Episcopal tradition. Ceremonies honoring her feast day and legacy have been held at sites like the Royal Mausoleum State Monument (Mauna ʻAla)
