Who they were
Vindiciana is named in the late and untrustworthy life of St Landoald as Landoald's sister, one of the party sent by Pope St Martin I to help St Amand in his mission in what are now Belgium and Holland.
The group settled in the diocese of Maastricht, where Landoald built his church at Wintershoven.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: she has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
