Скачать или смотреть Saint of the Day (October 16) – St. Hedwiga

Saint Hedwig of Silesi, also known as Saint Hedwig of Andechs, was born on 1174 in Bavaria, Germany, into a noble and devout family. She married Duke Henry I of Silesia and became a duchess known not for power, but for her deep humility and charity.
‎
‎Even as a wife, mother, and duchess, Hedwig lived a life of simplicity and prayer. She used her position to care for the poor, build hospitals and monasteries, and support the Church. Her heart was especially drawn to helping widows, orphans, and the sick.
‎
‎After her husband’s death, Hedwig chose to live in the Cistercian monastery at Trzebnica, where her daughter was abbess. She gave up all wealth, wore simple clothes, and lived as a servant of God in quiet humility.
‎
‎Saint Hedwig passed away on October 15, 1243, in Trzebnica, Poland. Her memory continues to inspire those who serve others with faith and compassion.
‎
‎Her feast day is celebrated on October 16. May her example remind us that holiness often begins with kindness.
