St. Ethelreda (Audrey) - Saints & Angels - Catholic Online



St. Ethelreda (Audrey), Roman Catholic English Nun. She died of an enormous and unsightly tumor on her neck, which she gratefully accepted as Divine retribution for all the necklaces she had worn in her early years. Throughout the Middle Ages, a festival, "St. Audrey's Fair", was held at Ely on her feast day June 23.
