Historical Usage
A legend tells of a noblewoman named Zelinda who lived in the 13th century in the region of Lusatia, now part of Germany. She was renowned for her beauty and piety. One day, while praying at the local church, an angel appeared to her and asked for her help in healing the sick and the injured during a plague outbreak. Zelinda agreed, and the angel granted her the power to heal. With her newfound gift, she ministered to the sick and the wounded, and the plague subsided. After the plague had passed, Zelinda retreated to a solitary life in a monastery.
13th century
Another reference mentions a saint named Saint Zelinda, also known as Saint Celsinda, who lived in the 5th or 6th century in the region of Galicia, now part of Spain. She was a hermitess who lived in a cave and devoted her life to prayer and penance. According to legend, she was discovered by a group of hunters, who were amazed by her piety and asked for her intercession. Zelinda healed a hunter who was seriously injured, and later healed a leper colony in the area. She is now revered as the patron saint of both hunters and the sick.
