Saints celebrated on the 24th of December
VENERABLE EINARDUS, BISHOP
Venerable Einardus (Einard II., feast day December 24) was descended from the noble family of the Counts of Katzenelnbogen. In his youth, he left the world for Christ's sake, became a monk of Limburg and then abbot of the monastery.
HE BECAME BISHOP OF SPEYER
Because of his wisdom and piety he was asked to ascend the episcopal chair of Speyer. In his new position as bishop he rendered great services to the Emperor Henry [Heinrich] by his wise advice. He also received Creuzenach (Bad Kreuznach) as a present from him, which greatly increased the episcopal income. He died in 1067.
