For this house of God, Saint Willibrord was chosen as the patron. He was a very important missionary at the turn of the 7th to the 8th century, was born and educated in England, and evangelized the Frisians on papal and royal orders. Finally, he founded the monastery in Echternach, of which he became abbot, and where he is also buried (for those interested, see => https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/422067 ). The feast day of Saint Willibrord in the calendar of saints is on November 7th.
