Life
Wilbeth is one of the three legendary virgins called the Bethen, venerated locally in South Tyrol, Upper Bavaria, Baden and the Rhineland. In the fourteenth century she was joined with Einbeth and Warbeth. The veneration was tied to trees, wells and stones; a seventeenth-century relief from Meransen shows three girls, the outer two holding palm branches and the middle one a lily. She is not in the official lists of saints.
