St Dymphna - Patron Saint of Anxiety - CHARM ONLY - Silver

Saint Dymphna is celebrated as the patron Saint of Anxiety & Mental illness… with the wild ride of what the world has just been through of 2020, don’t you think we all need a St Dymphna in our lives?! Her personal story is weird & unexpected, no doubt causing her a lot of anxiety from a young age.

Dymphna was born in Ireland & when she was just 14 years old, her mother died and her father - who had loved his wife deeply - began to suffer a rapid deterioration of his mental stability.

Her father was so unhappy that it was suggested her remarry, although he would only consider someone as beautiful as Dymphna’s mother. After failed attempts to search for a new wife, his evil advisors suggested that he marry his very own daughter, Dymphna, to which he agreed! When Dymphna heard of these suggestions she fled to Belgium where she built a hospital to help care for the sick and poor. Her father eventually found her although she successfully refused his request and continued to live in chastity & helping others.

The strong spirit of St Dymphna and her ability to over come and flourish from anxiety lives on in our St Dymphna pendant, a talisman to hold dear to your heart to help you work through challenging moments and uncertain times.
