She often walked to church alone at night carrying a candle, and tradition holds that a demon repeatedly tried to blow it out while she prayed. Every time, she relit it with the sign of the cross. Later in life, when Paris faced famine under a military blockade, she sailed past enemy lines herself to bring back grain for the starving city. She died around 512 at nearly ninety years old, and her relics have drawn pilgrims to Paris ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Gift For...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone with French heritage or family ties to Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomeone who needs a steady light of their own during a hard season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA baptism or confirmation gift for a child with French roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who has ever had to be brave on behalf of people who depend on them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA shepherd, winemaker, or anyone in her lesser known trades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone named Genevieve, for a birthday or personal milestone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Confirmation Gift for Genevieve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor a child of French heritage, or anyone who wants a saint known for quiet, steady courage instead of dramatic miracles, Genevieve is a natural fit.
