Today the Church honors Saint Ursula and the Virgins of Cologne. In the year 383 Saint Ursula and her 11,010 companions were all found slaughtered for their purity and their Faith. This great martyrdom occurred in Cologne, Germany, and a shrine has been erected to them there, containing as many of their bones as could be rescued. A Religious Order of nuns in the Catholic Church was established by Saint Angela Merici in honor of Saint Ursula in the year 1535, known as the Ursulines. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-ursula-and-the-virgins-of-cologne-27
