Saint Regina (Regnia, French: Sainte Reine) (3rd century) was a virgin martyr and saint of the Catholic Church. She was born in Autun, France, to a pagan named
Clement. Her mother died at her birth and her father repudiated her.
She then went to live with a Christian nurse who baptized her. Regina
helped out by tending the sheep. She communed with God in prayer and
meditated on the lives of the saints. She was betrothed to the proconsulOlybrius, but refused to renounce her faith to marry him, for which she was tortured and wasbeheaded at Alesia in the diocese of Autun, called Alise-Sainte-Reine after her.
Her martyrdom is considered to have occurred either during the persecution of Decius, in 251, or under Maximian in 286.
[edit]Veneration
Honored in many ancient Martyrologies, Regina's feast is celebrated on 7 September or in the Archdiocese of Paderborn on 20 June. In the past, a procession was held in her honor in the town of Dijon. However, her relics were transferred to Flavigny Abbey in 827. The history of the translation of Regina was the subject of a 9th century account.
There are many places in France named Sainte-Reine after her.
St. Cloud
Feastday: September 7
On
the death of Clovis, King of the Franks, in the year 511 his kingdom
was divided between his four sons, of whom the second was Clodomir.
Thirteen years later he was killed fighting against his cousin,
Gondomar, leaving three sons to share his dominions. The youngest of
these sons of Clodomir was St. Clodoald, a name more familiar to English
people under its French form of
Cloud from the town of Saint-Cloud near Versailles. When Cloud was
eight years old, his uncle Childebert plotted with his brother, to get
rid of the boys and divide their kingdom. The eldest boy, Theodoald was
stabbed to death. The second, Gunther fled in terror, but was caught and
also killed. Cloud escaped and was taken for safety into Provence or
elsewhere.
Childebert
and his brother Clotaire shared the fruits of their crime, and Cloud
made no attempt to recover his kingdom when he came of age. He put
himself under the discipline of St. Severinus, a recluse who lived near
Paris, and he afterwards went to Nogent on the Seine and had his
heritage where is now Saint-Cloud. St. Cloud was
indefatigable in instructing the people of the neighboring country, and
ended his days at Nogent about the year 560 when he was some thirty-six
years old. St. Cloud's feast day is September 7th.
