After becoming a monk, Meinrad took on a life as a hermit, and established his hermitage on Etzel Pass. When giving refuge to two travelers, Richard and Peter, they turned out to be thieves who murdered him when they found out he had nothing worth stealing. The Einsiedeln Abbey was built in his honor, with a Virgin Mary statue believed to have been owned by him as a hermit.
