St Genevieve (Sainte Genevive) (Nanterre, c. 419/422 - Paris 502/512), in Latin Sancta Genovefa, from Germanic keno (kin) and wefa (wife), is the patron saint of Paris in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox tradition. One day Germanus (Saint Germain of Auxerre) came to Nanterre, and Genevieve confided in him that she wanted to live only for God. St Genevieve's death and burial
Clovis I founded an abbey where Genevieve might minister, and where she herself was later buried. St Genevieve was canonized and the church was rededicated in her name. In 1129, when the city was suffering from an epidemic of ergot poisoning, this "burning sickness" was stayed after St Genevieve's relics were carried in a public procession. Though the relics of St Genevieve had been publicly burnt at the Place de Grve in 1793, the Panthon was restored to Catholic purposes in 1821. Canons of St Genevieve
About 1619 Louis XIII named Cardinal Franois de La Rochefoucauld abbot of St. Genevieve's. The institute named after the saint was the Daughters of St. Genevive, founded at Paris in 1636, by Francesca de Blosset, with the object of nursing the sick and teaching young girls.
