Life
Holy Hierarch Willigis of Mainz (about 940 to 23 February 1011) was Archbishop of Mainz from 975 until his death and archchancellor of the Holy Roman Empire. The son of a wheelwright, he became a priest at Hildesheim, and soon after Archbishop of Mainz. Although a statesman, he was first of all a churchman and remained humble and charitable towards others. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 23 February (new calendar).
