Biography
St. Genevieve was a Gallo-Roman woman who dedicated her life to God at a young age. When Attila the Hun threatened Paris in 451, she rallied the citizens to pray rather than flee, and the Huns bypassed the city. She later organized a convoy of boats to bring food to Paris during a Frankish siege.
