Saint Begga (also known as Begue or Begge) was a 7th-century Frankish noblewoman whose life bridged the worlds of royal power and monastic piety. Born around 615 in the region of modern-day Belgium, she was the daughter of Pepin of Landen, the influential mayor of the palace in Austrasia, and his wife Itta (or Iduberga), both of whom came from devout Christian families. Her younger sister, Gertrude of Nivelles, would also be canonized as a saint, highlighting the deep faith that shaped their upbringing during the Merovingian era.
Begga married Ansegisel, son of Saint Arnulf of Metz, uniting two prominent noble lines. Their union produced three children, the most notable being Pepin of Herstal, who became the founder of the Carolingian dynasty. Through this lineage, Begga is the grandmother of Charles Martel and the great-great-grandmother of Charlemagne, making her an indirect ancestor of one of Europe's most influential imperial families.
Tragedy struck when Ansegisel was killed—accounts vary, describing it as a feud or a hunting accident—sometime before 679 or around 691. Widowed, Begga chose a path of spiritual renewal. She undertook a pilgrimage to Rome, where she visited sacred sites, including the seven major basilicas. Inspired by this journey, upon her return she founded seven churches at Andenne on the Meuse River (in present-day Belgium), modeled after Rome's pilgrim churches.
Around 691–692, she established a convent there, becoming its first abbess. The monastery drew nuns from nearby Nivelles and incorporated Irish monastic traditions. Begga spent her remaining years leading the community with humility, prayer, and charity, dedicating herself to the spiritual guidance of her sisters.
She died on December 17, 693, at the convent and was buried in what became Saint Begga's Collegiate Church in Andenne. Venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, her primary feast day is December 17 (with some traditions also noting September 6). Some later legends linked her to the origins of the Beguine movement—a 12th-century lay women's religious communities—due to the similarity in names, though historians attribute that movement to later figures.
Saint Begga exemplifies the transition from Merovingian nobility to Carolingian ascent, embodying how personal piety could influence broader historical currents. Her legacy endures not through conquests, but through quiet devotion and the founding of enduring religious institutions.

Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of 'natural stupidity'
“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy ... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger ... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty"

Bill Kristol: "Trump’s cage fight at the White House was despicable on so many levels: taxpayer money being spent to glorify him, the corruption and kickbacks surrounding the fight, and the Saudis underwriting a White House event, even though they share none of our traditions or values.
