Kunigunde of Rapperswil

Saint Kunigunde of Rapperswil is a saint of the 4th century, venerated in Switzerland and the region of Rheinfelden. Little is known of her; according to the legend she was one of the companions of Saint Ursula on the pilgrimage to Rome.

She is said to have lived at Eichsel near Rheinfelden and to have reposed at Rapperswil on the way back from Rome. On 16 June 1504 Cardinal Raimondo Peraudi solemnly raised her relics at Eichsel, together with those of Saints Mechtund and Wibrandis. To this day a procession with relics, the "Eichsler Umgang", is held at Eichsel on her feast day. She is venerated as a patron of the blind and the lame, and as a saint of the undivided Church.
