Saint Casilda of Toledo, born around 950 AD to the Muslim emir of Toledo, Yahya ibn Ismail Al-Mamun, was a princess who converted to Christianity, renowned for her charity and miracles. Raised in Islamic Spain, she secretly aided Christian prisoners, smuggling bread in her clothes—famously turning to roses when caught by her father’s guards. Stricken by illness (possibly hemorrhages), she sought healing at the Christian Shrine of San Vicente near Buezo, rejecting local physicians. Miraculously cured by its waters, she was baptized in Burgos and lived as a hermitess near the shrine until her death around 1050 AD, reportedly at 100. Her life bridged faiths in a time of tension, embodying compassion and conversion. | Saint Casilda of Toledo, born around 950 AD to the Muslim emir of Toledo, Yahya ibn Ismail Al-Mamun, was a princess who converted to Christianity, renowned for her charity and miracles.
