Erentrude suffered from hostile incursions and from incendiarism, so that it had been reduced to a heap of ruins.
Afterwards, the Emperor Henry II.
, surnamed the Pious, resolved on the restoration of this religious establishment, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and to St.
Erendrude.
This distinguished Imperator is stated to have been subject to epilepsy, which his physicians could not cure ; but, when he came to the tomb of St.
Erendrude, and had prayed there, he obtained some of her relics, which he enclosed in a golden locket, and wore suspended from hisneck.
Afterwards,hewasrelievedfromthatinfirmity,andasatokenof gratitude, he presented two golden calcaria to ornament her tomb.
27 About the year 1024, the Emperor Henry II.
of Germany, having effected the restora-
28
tion of St. Erentrude's monastery, or rather having rebuilt it ;
the chief altar
in the crypt, and two others, are said to have been consecrated by Balduin,
2
Archbishop of Salzburgh, about the year io4i. 9 This monastery of St.
Erentrude was liberally endowed by the aforesaid Emperor. It is stated, furthermore, that the church so renovated had been consecrated to the Blessed Virgin and to St. Erentrude, by Archbishop Hertwic, the Emperor himself
assisting. Afterwards, the body of St. Erentrude was removed with great reverence, from the ancient tomb in which it had so long lain, to a crypt beneath the middle altar, where it reposed in the beginning of the fourteenth century. It seems possible, also, that a subsequent Translation took place. The year 1305 is that generally assigned for the Translation of St. Erentrude's relics, at Nunberg, and the day was on the 3rd of September. This was kept as a holyday by the citizens, and on it they abstained from all servile works. Anofficecommemoratingthissolemnitywasalsorecitedbythenuns. This translation of her relics, to the crypt of the church in which they are now preserved, was most probably on the 3rd of September, which is a feast kept in her honour. 3°
About the beginning of the fourteenth century, one Caesarius, a chaplain in
Nunberg, and who had served in that capacity for twenty-eight years, relates a number of miracles wrought through the intercession of St. Erentrude, as he hadlearnedthemfromvarioussources notalonefromthenuns,butfrom
;
externs worthy of trust. This account is still more interesting, owing to the
traditional lights it throws on the history of Nunberg, as on the Acts of its holy Patroness. The festival of this holy virgin is commemorated in a Manuscript Florarius and by Philip Ferrarius. In like manner, Arnold Wion,Menard,Bucelin,andPetrusCanisiusrecordhermemory. AnOffice Book, printed for the church of Salzburgh a. d. 1585, has Nine Lessons in her praise. According to the Martyrology of Andrew Saussay, the chief feast of
the eighth century, and his festival occurs, at the 27th of November.
26 This could not have been a canoniza- tion, according to the modern rite ; but, it is likely to have represented some solemn pronouncement of a similar character, cus- tomary at that period.
27 Such is the account given by Caesarius,
in his Additions to the work of Viguleius Hundius.
^ This however seems to have been an anachronism, as Baldwin was not then Archbishop of Salzburg, but rather Hartwic, according to the "Chronica Archiepiscopo- rum Salisburgensium. "

All countries and places, from north to south, from east to west, prove incontestably the primitive and religious influence that ancient Ireland con- ferred on Europe. 32 Thus, as in the case of St. Erentrude, her very example and her well-regulated morals brought her numerous disciples and imitators to share her gifts, while she was most sedulous in watching over their spiritual concerns. She even regarded the salvation of one person as affecting her own hopesofsalvation. Shewassympatheticintheirmisfortunesasintheirsuccess; while she felt as if what happened to one of them ought to be personal to herself. Her almsgiving, continence and abstinence were the virtues which greatly distinguished her life ; while these graces lent a lustre to her probity of morals, to her untiring vigils, and to the numberless evidences of sanctity which rendered her a chief ornament of the religious state.
