EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, the venerable figure of Saint Genevieve (d.500), the patroness of Paris, stands resolutely on a balcony overlooking the moonlit cityscape. The serene expression on her face belies the tumultuous events that unfolded during her lifetime. Orphaned at a young age after the death of her parents, Genevieve took the veil and moved to Paris, where she dedicated herself to a religious life. During the siege of Paris by Attila the Hun in 451 AD, Saint Genevieve made a personal sortie to obtain much-needed supplies for the city. In the face of imminent danger, she encouraged the Parisians to avert the approach of the Huns through the power of fasting and prayer. The city's inhabitants heeded her call, and the miraculous intervention of Saint Genevieve is said to have played a significant role in repelling the invaders. The historical significance of Saint Genevieve is captured in this photograph. The moon, casting a gentle glow over the city, serves as a reminder of the divine intervention that saved Paris from destruction. The image of the saint, with her veil billowing in the night breeze, stands as a steadfast figurehead, a symbol of faith and hope during times of crisis. Throughout history, the relics of Saint Genevieve have continued to work miracles, and the Parisians have invoked her name time and again during moments of need. This powerful image pays tribute to the enduring legacy of a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to the service of her city and her faith.
