| About Rupert of Salzburg |
| The St. Rupert was the first abbot of Salzburg. He is a member of a noble Frankish family. He is variously considered to be Frankish or Irish, but developed a reputation for holiness while preaching in Worms. His manner was upstanding and he was always truthful. His reputation reached the ears of Duke Theodo II of Bavaria. The Benedictine monks and nuns who accepted Rupert's call grew the town of Salzburg. To this day, September 24th is marked throughout Austria with a St. Rupert's Day country fair, Ruperti Kirtag. He is the first archbishop of this major diocese in the West. |
