Saint Hunna

St. Hunna is a medieval Saint from the 7th century, who lived in Alsace, which is now part of modern-day France. She is the patron saint of laundresses, laundry workers, and washerwomen. Hunna dedicated her life to serving God and helping people in need. She was born into a noble family and grew up in a devout Christian home. From a young age, Hunna wanted to serve God. She was humble and pious, spending much of her time helping the poor and needy.

Her life changed when her husband was killed in battle, leaving her a widow with a young son. Despite this tragedy, Hunna stayed committed to her faith and her role as a mother. She earned a living by washing clothes for others, and her skill in this work quickly gained her a good reputation. People called her "The Holy Washerwoman." Hunna placed a strong emphasis on the power of prayer and the importance of performing good deeds. She was charitable to the poor and showed kindness and generosity to anyone in need.

St. Hunna was recognized for her devotion to God and her hard work in serving others. She died in 679, and her feast day is celebrated on April 15th. She was canonized in the 10th century, and her relics are believed to be kept in the Benedictine monastery of Saint Peter in the Black Forest. St. Hunna's life and work continue to inspire people today. Her commitment to God and her service to others shows the strength of faith and the value of helping others, even in simple ways.

St. Hunna, obtain for us the perseverance to serve Christ and follow Him in every circumstance of life.
