Saint Thecla, a nun of Wimborne Abbey (Dorsetshire) under Saint Tetta (f.d. September 28), joined the mission to Germany under her relative, Saint Lioba (f.d. September 28). For a time, Saint Thecla was a nun at Tauberbischofsheim. Saint Boniface (f.d. June 5) named her the first abbess of Ochsenfuert, and then of the convent of Kitzingen, three miles from Wuerzburg on the Main, over which she ruled for many years. Her relics remained at Kitzingen until they were scattered during the Peasants' War of the 16th century (Attwater, Benedictines, Bonniwell, Encyclopedia, Farmer, Husenbeth).
