'''Saint Otto of Bamberg''' (1060 AD – 1139 AD) was a German [[bishop]] and [[missionary]], known as the “Apostle of Pomerania” for Christianizing the Slavic Pomeranians. Born in [[Mistelbach]], [[Swabia]], Otto served as a court chaplain before becoming [[Bishop of Bamberg]] in 1102 AD. He led two missionary expeditions to [[Pomerania]], establishing churches and baptizing thousands. Canonized pre-Congregation, he is venerated for his evangelistic zeal and diocesan leadership.<ref name="catholicsaints">{{cite web |title=Saint Otto of Bamberg |url=https://catholicsaints.info/saint-otto-of-bamberg/ |publisher=CatholicSaints.Info |accessdate=18 May 2025}}</ref> | |||
