Saint Willibald, also known as Saint Willibald of Eichstätt, was a 7th-century English Benedictine monk and missionary who played a significant role in the early Christianization of Bavaria. Born around 700 AD to a noble family in Wessex, England, he was the brother of Saint Walpurga and Saint Wunibald. As a young man, Willibald traveled extensively throughout Europe with his parents and siblings. In 721 AD, they embarked on a pilgrimage to Rome where they visited various holy sites and met Pope Gregory II. Upon their return to England in 723 AD, Willibald's father passed away due to illness. In response to this loss and seeking spiritual guidance, Willibald joined his mother's decision to leave for Italy once more but instead chose the path less taken by traveling through Gaul (modern-day France) into what is now modern-day Germany. It was during this journey that he became acquainted with the monastic traditions prevalent at that time.
