According to tradition, Saint Verona was born in the Rhineland, the daughter of Louis the German.
While looking for the grave of her twin brother Veronus, Verona took a rest at a roadside chapel in Leefdaal.
Here, the voice of God apparently revealed two secrets to Verona: she could find her brother's grave in Lembeek; and she would be buried underneath the chapel in which she was presently resting.
She went on her way and found her brother's grave in Lembeek, before returning to her native Rhineland, where she established a number of convents before dying in 870.
[1] Verona is worshipped in the Sint-Verona [nl] chapel in Leefdaal, which displays an 18th-century statue of her.
