Life edit

Little is known about this saint. Maybe born in Rapperswil in Switzerland, she was one of the companions of Saint Ursula during her pilgrimage to Roma. On the way back, Kunigunde, Mechtund, Wibranda and Chrischona were sick in Rapperswil respectively Eichsel (Rapperschwier in earlier days), and soon died.[1]
