  Dymphna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Dymphna (also: Dympna, Dimpna) is traditionally held to be the daughter of a pagan Irish chief and his Christian wife in the 7th century.
Dymphna enters the historical record in the 13th century after a local bishop commissioned her biography.
The body of St. Dymphna is held in a silver reliquary in the Gheel church named in her honor, although the original church burnt down in the 15th century.

 The History of St. Dymphna
Dymphna was, like her mother, a paragon of beauty, and a most sweet and winning child, the "jewel" of her home.
Dymphna was early placed under the care and tutelage of a pious Christian woman, who prepared her for baptism, which was conferred by the saintly priest Father Gerebran.
Dymphna, as may be expected, was greatly horrified at the suggestion, and asked for a period of forty days to consider the proposal.

Dymphna is the patron saint of those suffering from mental and emotional illnesses, and sometimes referred to as the Patroness of Abuse and Incest Victims.
In art, Dymphna is often depicted with a sword in her hand and a fettered devil at her feet.
Dymphna is an encouragement to all who face and deal with emotional and mental illness, stress, tension, frustration, abuse and incest.

Dymphna’s father found them in a number of months, and Dmyphna’s father’s men put the priest and two companions to death, whereas Dymphna was beheaded by her own father because she refused to return with him to his lands.
Her relics are reported to cure insanity and epilepsy.When the old church of Saint Dymphna in Gheel was destroyed by fire in 1489 it was replaced by a new church which was consecrated in 1532.
The strength of Dymphna’s cult is evidenced by this compassionate work of the people of Gheel for the mentally ill at a time when they were universally neglected or treated with hostility.
