April 9 – The Feast of St. Casilda

Born in Spain in the mid-10th century, Casilda grew up in a Muslim family and was the daughter of one of the leaders in Toledo. 

As a young woman, she became distressed at the plight of the Christian prisoners she saw in Toledo and decided to try and feed them by hiding bread in her dress. 

At one point, suspicious Muslim officers demanded to see what she was carrying but when she showed them what was revealed was a large bouquet of roses. 

Casilda then became quite ill and did not trust the doctors in her own community. Instead, she made a pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. Vincent the Martyr and there she was healed. 

Afterward, Casilda converted to Christianity and lived the rest of her life not far from the shrine. 

She died in 1050 at the age of 100. 

St. Casilda, please pray for us.
