St. Ludmila of Bohemia

c. 860–921 · Prague · Feast September 16

Ludmila and her husband Bořivoj were baptized, by tradition by St. Methodius himself. She raised her grandson Wenceslas in the faith, which angered her daughter-in-law Drahomíra, who wanted the old gods. Drahomíra had her strangled with her own veil in 921. She is a patron saint of the Czech people.
