Today, 2 May, we commemorate the anniversary of the death of the martyr St Wiborada of St Mangen (St Gallen, Switzerland), who was the first woman ever to be canonised by a Pope (Clement II). Today marks her 1100th anniversary.

Today, I went on a pilgrimage with many other people to the place where she died and where her grave is. In the picture on the right, you can see the cell in which she locked herself away (black stripes) and where she lost her life during an attack by the Hungarians (red stripes). You can still see the window that used to connect her cell to the church.
