St. Genevieve.

St. Genevieve, the patron salat of Paris, was consecrated at the age of seven to the service of religion by St. Germanuß, bishop of Auxerre, who chanced to pass through the village of Nanterre, where she lived, about four miles from Paris. She acquired a great reputation for sanctity. The church of St Genevieve, completed in 1764, was .named in her honor. During the revolutionary period it was withdrawn from the service of religion and called the Pantheon, but was afterward restored in name and to ecclesiastieal uses.
