WITH LOVE FROM EBAUMS WITH LOVE FROM EBAUMS WITH LOVE FROM EBAUMS WITH LOVE FROM EBAUMS WITH LOVE FROM EBAUMS WITH LOVE FROM EBAUMSThe holy and glorious Virgin-martyr '''Dymphna''' (also ''Dympna'') was a 7th century Celtic saint (died circa 650). Her [[feast day]] is celebrated on [[May 15]]. Born in Ireland, she was forced to flee to Belgium accompanied by a [[priest]], St Gerebern. Their [[relics]] were discovered at Gheel near Antwerp in the thirteenth century. Since then numberless cases of mental illness have been healed at their [[shrine]].  ==Source==*[http://orthodoxengland.org.uk/saintsd.htm Orthodox Europe: Latin Saints of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Rome] ==External links==*[[w:Saint_Dymphna|''Saint Dymphna'' at Wikipedia]]*[http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0515.htm#dymp Dympna of Gheel] St. Patrick [[Roman Catholic|Catholic]] Church [[Category:Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Saints]][[Category:Martyrs]][[Category:Saints]]
