St. Meinrad,
martyr is venerated as the patron and in some sense the founder of the Benedictine
abbey of Einsiedeln in
Switzerland which has kept an unbroken continuity since Carolingian times. He settled as a hermit at Einsiedeln, where he was murdered by two ruffians to whom he had given
hospitality in 861. His
feast day is January 21st.
