Casilda of Toledo was a Muslim princess born in Toledo around 950. As the daughter of the local emir, she became known for her compassion toward Christian captives. After recovering from an illness by visiting the healing waters of the San Vicente shrine near Buezo, she converted to Christianity. She spent her subsequent years in penance and solitude, living until approximately 1050. Today, she is recognized as a saint in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions.
