'''Saint Willibald''' (October 21, 700 – July 7, 787), also known as Willebald, was an Anglo-Saxon [[Saints|saint]], Benedictine monk, missionary, and bishop of Eichstätt, renowned as the first known Englishman to visit the Holy Land. Born in [[Wessex]], England, to [[Saint Richard the Pilgrim]] and [[Saint Wuna]], he was the brother of [[Saint Winnebald]] and [[Saint Walburga]] and a cousin of [[Saint Boniface]]. At age five, after surviving a near-fatal illness, he entered Waltham Abbey, Hampshire. In 722, he embarked on a pilgrimage to Rome with his father and brother, during which his father died in Lucca. Willibald continued to Jerusalem (724–726), documenting his travels in the *Hodoeporicon*, the earliest English travelogue, dictated to a nun, Huneberc. Captured by Saracens in Emesa as a spy, he was released and visited holy sites across Palestine, Syria, and Constantinople. He spent ten years (729–739) at [[Monte Cassino]], serving as sacristan, dean, and porter, aiding its restoration. In 740, [[Pope Gregory III]] sent him to assist Boniface in Germany, where he was ordained a priest (741) and consecrated bishop of [[Eichstätt]] (742). With his siblings, he founded the double monastery at [[Heidenheim]] in 752. He died of natural causes in Eichstätt in 787. Canonized pre-Congregation, his feast day is [[July 7]]. He is patron of travelers, pilgrims, and Eichstätt.<ref name="web5">{{cite web |title=Willibald |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willibald |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-14}}</ref><ref name="web6">{{cite web |title=Sts.
