Life.
He was born on October 20, 1907 in Loštice as the son of the glove and gamekeeper František Nasadil and his wife Františka born. The Bauers. He had four brothers. He first attended a national school and then a burgher school. In 1921 and 1922, the family renounced the Roman Catholic faith, and in 1924 they joined the newly emerging Autonomous Orthodox Church under the leadership of the Bishop Gorazda.
As a young man, he decided on a christian vocation. Together with 14 students, he was sent to a seminary of the Serbian Orthodox Church in 1923. He first studied in the seminar of St. Jan Theologian in Macedonian Bitole and in 1928 he finished his studies with a theological school-leaving examination in the seminary of St. Sava in Sremski Karlovci. Then he returned home and started working in the service of the church and also as a translator in Baťa's shoe factories in Zlín.
On July 6, 1931, he married Leopoldina b. Pestlová (Desanka) and the same year their son Dalibor called Stanko was born.
Sometime between 1932 and 1933 he left for the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. On March 11, 1933, he was ordained a deacon bishop by the Diocese of Bac Irinej and a day later on jerej. After his ordination, he began working as an auxiliary priest in the parish of Stara Moravica belonging to the Diocese of Upper Carlovac. He then became a parish priest in Croatian Lička Jesenica in the church of St. the prophet Elijah. In 1935, Stanislav and his family went to see Stanislav. In a short time, his son Branko was born. As a priest, he gained great popularity and was also musically gifted, playing the violin.
In April 1941, Croatian and Bosnian territories were occupied by nazists and the Independent State of Croatia was established there, which was a puppet country of the Third Reich. This Ustasha state liquidated the minorities and religious minorities (Serbs, Roma, Jews). On May 23, 1941, the Ustashas invaded the residence of the eparchial bishop Sáva in the village of Plaški. The bishop and the clergy present, including Father Stanislav, were identified as undesirable and were called to leave the country under threat of death. Those present decided to stay with their believers.
On June 17, 1941, Bishop Sava, Father Stanislav, and other clergy and laity were arrested. Father Stanislav refused to defend Czechoslovak citizenship and said goodbye to his family. At the train station, he managed to write the name of the camp Gospić on a piece of paper and threw it off the train. This way the family learned where they were transporting him. He was later transferred with Bishop Sava and others to the Jadovno Concentration Camp. Here the prisoners were tortured and eventually killed. Stanislav Nasadil was killed after cruel torture on June 28, 1941 by throwing it into the Šaran pit, located about one km from the camp.
His wife tried to leave the country, which she failed, and she was imprisoned in Zagreb. Here a German friend helped her and went with her to the town of Ogulin.
In 1961 she canonized Father Stanislav, Bishop Sávo and others Serbian Orthodox Church and on June 9, 2019, Father Stanislav was canonized also Orthodox Church in the Czech Lands and in Slovakia. The solemn service took place in Cyril and Methodius in Michalovce.
