Dymphna is a Christian saint venerated in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox faiths. According to tradition, she lived in the 7th century and was martyred by her father. Her story was first documented in the 13th century by a canon of the Church of Aubert of Avranches at Cambrai, France, commissioned by Guiard of Laon, the Bishop of Cambrai. The author emphasized the oral tradition and history of miraculous healings of the mentally ill associated with Dymphna.
