Description

Paroikekirken St.-Onkomena eller St.-Wilgefortis Kruiskerk i Bavegem ligger på en højde. Allerede i det 10. århundrede havde Bavegem et kapel. Kirken har traditionelt været viet til den hellige Onkomena eller Wilgefortis. Kulten af Onkomena eller Wilgefortis begyndte i det 14. århundrede. Onkomena skulle henvise til "at undslippe" eller "at flygte". Ifølge legenden lovede faderen til en hedensk konge, at hans datter Wilgefortis ville gifte sig med den hedenske konge. Wilgefortis havde slet ikke lyst til dette og bad om at blive afskyelig. Efter hendes bøn begyndte hun at få en stærk skægvækst. Hendes far blev rasende og lod hende korsfæste. Denne historie skulle have fundet sted i Portugal. Den korsfæstede bebrystede mand er således ikke en mand, men en kvinde. Baseret på denne historie blev Wilgefortis stærkt tilbedt mod mishandling af "dårlige mænd".
