The church legend states that Charlamagne had the church built as a monastery on the spot of the graves of St. Felix and St. Regula, the city’s patron saints. Felix and Regula were members of a Roman legion in Switzerland who converted to Christianity. When the legion was ordered to be executed for this conversion, the brothers fled to Zurich, but were caught and beheaded. According to legend, they then picked up their heads and walked up a hill to pray before finally dying. Their graves were located on the hill. Later, Charlemagne was hunting and his horse fell at the site of the graves. Charlemagne was so impressed by the miraculous event that had occurred at the gravesite of Felix and Regula that he decided to construct a church on that very spot. This church, known as Grossmünster, became a significant religious site and continues to stand to this day as a testament to the legend of the headless saints.
