O Holy Geneviève, pray for us, Apostle of Unity."]]Our venerable mother '''Geneviève of Paris''' was a [[nun]] originally from Nanterre who lived in France circa 500 A.D. She is considered the [[patron saint ]] of the city of Paris, together with St. Denis. Her [[feast day]] is celebrated on [[January 3]].
St. Geneviève is associated with many miraculous events. When Attila the Hun approached, she upbraided the cowardly men who wanted to leave town: they remained in Paris, and Attila's barbarians turned away. St. [[Symeon the Stylite]] sent her a letter after seeing her in a vision. St. Geneviève also worked [[exorcism]]s using [[Chrism|holy oil]] blessed by the bishop.
