Apostle of the Low Countries around 726.

Willibrord, the so-called apostle of the Low Countries but better known as the apostle of the Frisians, is best known as the missionary who would convert the Frisians. As was often the case at that time (and in other times) this was accompanied by the destruction of some local "pagan" sanctuaries and the killing of their guards and worshippers. Willibrord used a strategy for this: he worked together with Pepijn van Herstal who in his time was occupied with conquering the Frisian river area, among other things. The Franks could use Willibrord to incorporate the Frisian empire into the Frankish and Willibrord could devote himself to the "Christianization", building churches and monasteries and amassing a very large wealth that he donated to the monastery of Echternach upon his death. He was also buried in Echternach and you can find the Willibrordus source. Just like Servaas van Maastricht, Willibrord is a so-called source saint. He is mainly venerated in some parishes and places that historically had a link with Echternach and some other abbeys.
