Chapel in Aldeneik, dedicated to Herlindis and Relindis
Saint Relindis (or Renule) (died 750), sister of Saint Herlindis, was the daughter of count Adelard who built a Benedictine monastery at Maaseik for his daughters.[1] Herlindis was abbess of the abbey until her death, after which Relindis was named to succeed her by Saint Boniface.[2]
Relindus was gifted in embroidery and painting.[3] The vestments of Sts. Harlindis and Relindis, now in Maaseik, Belgium are the earliest surviving examples of Anglo-Saxon embroidery. Traditionally attributed as the work of Sts. Harlindis and Relindis themselves, the works are not that old and are of Anglo-Saxon English origin, dated to the second half of the ninth century.
Her feast day is 6 February.
