Aurelia of Strasbourg was a 4th-century Christian saint associated with the legendary journey of Saint Ursula and the eleven thousand virgins. Traveling from Roman Britain toward Cologne, the group eventually moved through Basel and down the Rhine. During the trip to Strasbourg, Aurelia reportedly died after a short struggle with a severe fever. Her death occurred while she was part of this large traveling group of virgins, and she is remembered as a figure of devotion in the region where she passed away.
