Life
Beden, also called Beten or Bethen, are a legendary German group of three saints: Einbeth, Warbeth and Wilbeth. They are honored in small churches and chapels in South Tyrol, Upper Bavaria, Baden and the Rhineland. The tradition of the "Three Virgins" has existed since the late Middle Ages, but it is observed only regionally and is not included in the official lists of saints of the Catholic Church.
From them some have inferred the existence of Celtic goddesses of the same name. This is not a historical life, but a popular tradition.
