Blessed Ludmila, originally from Serbia, was the daughter of a Serbian prince and married the Czech prince Borivoj. After their marriage, they believed in Christ and were baptized, building churches and appointing priests. They had three sons and one daughter. After Borivoj's death, Ludmila, showing humility, distributed her possessions to the poor. Her son Vratislav became a prince, and then his son Wenceslaus. Wenceslaus's mother, Dragomira, hated Ludmila and incited the boyars to kill her. Ludmila was strangled in her palace in Tetin at the age of sixty-one. The place of her burial became a source of miracles, and her grandson Wenceslaus transferred her relics to Prague to the church of St. George, where they continue to work wonders. Dragomira died a wicked death.
