St. Wilgefortis: Supposedly in the middle ages, images of Jesus on the cross, wearing robes instead of a loincloth, were misinterpreted as being a bearded woman. A legend thus developed that a young woman named Wilgefortis was being forced into marriage, and when she prayed to be rescued from the predicament, she spontaneously grew a beard. Her fiancé no longer wanted to marry her, and her father was so furious he crucified Wilgefortis. She was revered as the patron saint of women trapped in abusive relationships.

Every person encounters places, sounds, and smells that touch the strings of the harp carried since adolescence and make them vibrate. And if the first love was one denied -- not allowed to run its instructive course -- then the nostalgia is particularly deep, sentimental, and dangerous. These vibrations resonate with tragic love stories and explain, in part, our fascination with renunciation and unrequited love.

Die heilige Kümmernis - Die heilige Wilgefortis

(engl.: Uncumber / dutch: Ontkommer )

Art historians have argued that the origins of the cult can be found with the Volto Santo of Lucca, a large eleventh century carved wooden figure of Christ on the Cross, bearded like a man, but dressed in a full-length tunic like a woman ...  The theory is that when the composition was copied and brought north over the next 150 years, in small copies by pilgrims and dealers, this unfamiliar image led trouser-wearing Northerners to create a narrative to explain the androgynous icon.

According to the narrative, sometimes set in Portugal, a teen-aged noblewoman named Wilgefortis had been promised in marriage by her father to a pagan king. To thwart the unwanted wedding, she had taken a vow of virginity, and prayed that she would be made repulsive ... In answer to her prayers she sprouted a beard, which ended the engagement.  In anger, Wilgefortis's father had her crucified.

She was decisively debunked during the late 16th century, and thereafter disappears from high art, although lingering well into the 20th century in more popular forms, especially in Bavaria and Austria, but also in northern France and Belgium.

She is often shown with a small fiddler at her feet, and with one shoe off. This derives from a legend, also attached to the Volto Santo of Lucca, of a silver shoe with which the statue had been clothed dropping spontaneously at the feet of a poor pilgrim. In the Wilgefortis version the poor devotee became a fiddler ... (wiki)
