Saint Meinrad and the Ravens at Einsiedeln
The ninth century Swiss saint Meinrad lived as a hermit in Einsiedeln and was often visited for advice by two tame ravens. In 861 he was murdered by greed seekers in his cell. The ravens led followers toward Zurich where pilgrims identified them and the killers were punished.
