| A woman portrays St. Adele |
History
Adele was the daughter of King Dagobert II of Germany. After her husband died, she made sure her grown son was provided for and then became a nun. She started a convent and led the other sisters with holiness and good judgment. She influenced many people to lead holy lives – her grandson was Saint Gregory of Utrecht.
Activity
Saint Adele was devoted to Christ, and surely Christmas was a very special time for her. Today, watch this video of a famous German Christmas carol. Here it is in English, too.
