In devout remembrance of Munditia Protogenia. The commendable. Who lived 60 years. Who passed peacefully into eternity 15 days before the Calends of December APC|author=Anonymous |source=Inscription on reliquary

Her relics were translated to Munich from Rome in 1675 from the catacombs of Cyriaca. They were transferred to her Baroque Era-shrine which was consecrated on September 5, 1677. In 1804, her relics were concealed behind a wooden shrine, but this was removed in 1883, restoring interest in her cult. Her feast day is now celebrated annually with a High Mass and a procession with candles.

Cultural references Vahni Capildeo's poem, called "Saint Munditia", is found in their collection No Traveller Returns, in which they describe the saint as being "dug up from her burial / a millennium and a third since the flesh fell off her. / She's back in church."

St Munditia is the patron saint of single women and spinsters in the Catholic faith. Despite her obscure origins and the mystery surrounding her life, she is venerated for her alleged steadfastness in faith.
