Genevieve
b. circa 419, Nanterre, France; d. 512, Paris
Geneviève lived a strictly regimented life devoted to charity in the name of God and Christianity. She was also a prophet and became the patron saint of Paris when she allegedly saved the city from the Huns. She died in Paris in 512 and her relics were venerated and credited with many miracles, most notably the lifting of a plague in 1129.
