Saint Ursula

St. Ursula was a 4th-century Christian princess who, according to legend, led a group of 11,000 virgins on a pilgrimage to Rome and was martyred by the Huns in Cologne, Germany. Though the details of her life are uncertain, Ursula is venerated as a symbol of Christian purity and as a patron saint of students, teachers, and religious orders.
