Saint Kilian of Ireland – An Irish John the Baptist
In Würzburg, Germany (depicted on the bottom left of this plaque as castles and vineyards), Saint Kilian converted Duke Gozbert to Christianity (depicted on the bottom right corner of this plaque). But he was unable to convert the Duke’s wife, Geilana. Saint Kilian urged the Duke to separate from Geilana since he was violating sacred scripture by being married to his brother’s widow. When Geilana, heard that Saint Kilian had spoken such against her marriage, she was so infuriated that, when the duke was away, she sent her soldiers to the main square of Würzburg where Kilian was preaching, and had him beheaded on the spot.
