St. Dymphna
Our most popular item. St. Dymphna, patron saint of the mentally ill, is invoked by those who suffer emotional and nervous disorders. Born in Ireland, her short life ended as a martyr in Geel, Belgium where an asylum was founded in her honor. The statue shown here is located in the International Shrine of St. Jude in New Orleans. (For more information on St. Dymphna read Saints Preserve Us! by Sean Kelly and Rosemary Rogers, Random House, 1993.)
She is available as an 8x10 framed print, candle, greeting card and T-shirt. (Sleeping in the T-shirt has been known to cure insomnia.)
