Svatý Jan Sarkander (20. prosince 1576 Skocov – 17. brezna 1620 Olomouc) byl moravský katolický knez a farár v Holešove. V roce 1620 byl po vpádu polských vojsk na Moravu obvinen moravskými stavy ze zrady, vyslýchán mucen. Byl nucen k prozrazení, o cem v Polsku jednal, kdo pozval cizí vojska do zeme a co mu sveril Popel z Lobkovic pri zpovedi. Sarkander obvinení, že domlouval vpád polského vojska nebo vedl tajná jednání v Polsku, odmítal a co mu sveril Popel z Lobkovic, rovnež odmítl prozradit, protože by to znamenalo prozrazení zpovedního tajemství. Zemrel na následky mušcení ve vezení. 21. kvetna 1995 byl v Olomouci papežem Janem Pavlem II. Svatorecen.
Patronem: zpovedníku a zpovedního tajemství

================================================================

Saint John Sarkander (Czech and Polish: Jan Sarkander) (December 20, 1576 – March 17, 1620) was a Polish and Moravian priest. In 1620, during the ongoing Bohemian Revolt, Sarkander was by Protestant Moravian Estates accused of betrayal and tortured in Olomouc prison, partially due to his refusal to divulge what was said in confession. He died in prison March 17, 1620. Sarkander was canonized by Pope John Paul II during his visit to Olomouc in 1995.
