Icon of St. Irmina, nun

Icon of St. Irmina, the nun and foundress, co-labourer of St. Willibrord. 

Feast: Dec. 24

St. Irmina was the daughter of St. Dagobert II of the Franks and was betrothed to Count Herman. After a jealous suitor killed Herman outside Trier (Treves), she became a nun at a monastery near Trier, which her father had endowed. In 698 she gave St. Willibrord the building and grounds upon which was founded the famous Abbey of Echternach. She reposed in the Lord at Weissenburg Monastery in Alsace, which St. Dagobert had founded.
