St. Kilian was an Irish monk who migrated to Germany. Having been consecrated
Bishop, he set out with his 11 companions to evangelise the land. One of his converts
was the Duke of Würzburg. During one of St. Kilian's absences from the country,
the duke married unlawfully, and when on his return Bishop Kilian rebuked the two
strongly, the illicit wife ambushed Bishop Kilian, his faithful Priest Colman, and his
faithful Deacon Totnan, and killed them. All three martyrs are revered, especially
amongst German folk, on their feast of July 8, which in German lands was kept with
a vigil. An Anglo-Saxon Missal formerly preserved in Germany but now destroyed
gives propers for St. Kilian and the vigil day.

O holy Virgin Martyr Urith/ who didst suffer martyrdom in a Devon village/ and didst patiently endure the jealousy of thy pagan stepmother;/ pray for the faithful/ who are today suffering persecution,/ that evil may be destroyed and that God may be glorified,/ that we may cry to thee: Rejoice, O Virgin Urith.
