Hildegard of Bingen by Faith Webster https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7 It's literally a saint's life ok? en-us 2019-04-17 14:29:04 UTC 2019-04-24 14:30:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Hildegard of Bingen was a weak and sickly little kid. She was born at Botelheim on the Nahe, 1098. Her parents were Mechtildes and Hilderbert (named after her father?), and her sister was a recluse. Sounds like me. Nobody knows their last name, but her father was a soldier and they were super rich. Hildegard could read and sing Latin psalms, but sadly, she couldn't write. faithw67010 https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352305489 2019-04-17 14:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352305489 Hildegard was a prophetess. So, like, she could tell the future! She was called Sibyl of the Rhine, and she had visions of God. She decided to become a nun because of these visions. She was very holy, so she used her "powers", I guess you could call them, for good. faithw67010 https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352306920 2019-04-17 14:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352306920 She wrote sacred music, called hymns. She also wrote about important things, like history and medicine. faithw67010 https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352308406 2019-04-17 14:42:11 UTC https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352308406 Sadly, no, she is not. She dies in her own Monastery in 1179, feast 17 September of natural causes. She made a difference by creating a Monastery. Also, she could see the future, so that was cool. faithw67010 https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352309056 2019-04-17 14:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352309056 The sources I used were CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA and Hildegard of Bingen, Medieval Life and Times. faithw67010 https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352310288 2019-04-17 14:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/faithw67010/2d33m2ss4si7/wish/352310288
