The following Text is from Wikipedia - 
the free encyclopædia, unless stated otherwise.

Genevieve was a Consecrated Virgin, and is one of 
the two Patron Saints of Paris in the Catholic and 
Orthodox Traditions. Her Feast Day is 3 January.

Recognised for her Religious devotion at a young age, 
she was a child and dedicated herself to a virginal life.

Miracles and healings began to happen around her early on and she became known for changing the weather. She moved from Nanterre, her hometown, to Paris, after her parents died, and became known for her piety, healings, and miracles, although the residents of Paris resented her and would have killed her if not for Germanus’ interventions. 


Her Prayers saved Paris from being destroyed by the Huns, under Attila, in 451 A.D., and other wars; her organisation 
of the City’s women was called a “Prayer marathon” and Genevieve’s “most famous feat”.[5] 

She was involved in two major construction projects in Paris, a Basilica in honour of Saint Denis of Paris, in 475 A.D., and the Basilica of the Holy Apostles, Dedicated to Saint Peter 
and Saint Paul circa 500 A.D.

Genevieve performed Miracles both before and after her 
death. She was recognised as the Patron Saint of Paris 
in the 14th-Century. 

She was “a favourite of both the humblest residents 
and of the Bourbon family, and was equally Venerated by Erasmus and revolutionary fishwives”[6] and was considered “a cultural symbol which Parisians shared, appropriated, negotiated, and used, according to specific communal assumptions and Traditions”.[7]
