The Two Ewalds

The Two Ewalds (Ewaldi or Hewald), also known as Ewald the Dark and Ewald the Fair, are Christian martyrs of the 7th century, venerated in Old Saxony, a region that corresponds largely to modern Westphalia. They are the patrons of Westphalia. They are venerated as martyrs and saints in the Catholic Church.

They were Benedictine monks. In 690 they set out to preach to the peoples of Germany and died as martyrs among the Saxons in 695. Their joint commemoration is on 3 October (locally, 12 October) in the Roman Martyrology, in the Western calendar.
