Who they were
Burgundofara (born c. 595, died between 643 and 675,) also called Fara and Sainte Fare (modern Fr.), was a virgin, abbess, and saint. Born to a noble family near Meaux, near Paris, she was consecrated by the Irish missionary, Saint Columbanus, to enter a monastery at a young age. Her father, Agneric, who was a principal official at the court of Theodebert II, opposed his daughter's desire to become a nun and arranged a marriage for her, despite her consecration. He threatened her life when she refused, but Saint Eustathius, Columbanus' successor, intervened.
