"Casimir Pulaski Day" is a track from Sufjan Stevens' 2005 concept album Illinois, released on Asthmatic Kitty. The song's title is a reference to the holiday Casimir Pulaski Day celebrated in Illinois on the first Monday in March. In the song, the narrator grapples with the loss of his romantic partner, who dies of bone cancer on the titular holiday, deals with the grief that follows, and questions his faith in God.
