St. Genevieve was born around 422 AD in Nanterre, near Paris, into a noble family with a Gallo-Roman father and Frankish mother. At the age of seven, she met St. Germain of Auxerre, who predicted her future sanctity and encouraged her to dedicate her life to God. She moved to Paris after her parents' death, becoming known for her piety, charity, and prophetic visions. Her life was marked by acts of faith, including convincing Parisians to remain and pray during Attila the Hun's threat in 451 AD, which led to the city being spared. | St. Genevieve was born around 422 AD in Nanterre, near Paris, into a noble family with a Gallo-Roman father and Frankish mother.
