The goddess Corona has been worshiped for over 1,500 years to protect against infectious diseases


Corona's name may seem new now, but 1,200 years ago there was a female saint named Corona in Germany who was worshiped to ward off infectious diseases. Thus the name Corona is a centuries-old and well-known name for Germans. According to a German website, the spread of the Corona virus has drawn the attention of some people to the Christian saint Corona. He was tortured to death by Roman rulers 1,200 years ago.


Corona's magnificent work is now on display in a magnificent collection in the ancient cathedral in the German city of Aachen. The cathedral was scheduled to host an exhibition of items associated with Saint Corona this summer but has stalled following the Corona epidemic.



The exhibit includes a number of other valuable items made of gold, as well as the tomb of Saint Corona. On which are beautiful carvings of gold, bronze and ivory. Church representatives believe that in addition to the art and history of Saint Coro, locals also recognize him as a saint who cures infectious diseases. The saint of Corona is also highly regarded in the small town of St. Corona in neighboring Austria, Germany.


In addition, in some parts of Bavaria and Austria, the corona is known as the god of defense. At one time, devotees of Saint Corona also practiced gambling and treasure hunting. At that time, different patron saints were seen depending on the economic hardships of people associated with different professions. It is not surprising that during the Corona epidemic, Saint Corona prayed for protection from illness, but in the future, people prayed for protection against the economic situation.


The first depiction of Saint Corona was made by King Auto III



The cathedral is famous as the tomb of the first holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne in the 9th century. The coronation of German kings and queens has been a tradition since the time he died in 214 AD. The cathedral is still recognized as an important pilgrimage site. Auto III was the first to draw Saint Corona. Which was brought to the main tomb in the early 20th century.
