Genevieve Socks
Description: Did you know that over 800,000 girls were named Jennifer between 1965 and 1980? This makes Jennifer one of the most common women's names of Generation X! It might as well be called Jen X. This design uses a classic 70s avocado green color and a retro font to evoke the nostalgia of the time when you had 3 other Jennifers in your 5th grade class. Makes a great gift for the Gen X Jen in your life!
Description: Saint Genevieve is the matron saint against epidemics and plagues! When she was seven years old, Genevieve met Saint Germanus of Auxerre on his way to England. Germain befriended her because of her insistence on wanting to live her life for God, and prophesied her future sanctity. She took the veil at age 15. Prophesied invasions and disasters for Paris. Could read consciences and calm the possessed. When Paris was besieged by the Franks, she encouraged its defense, organized prayers for God‘s protection of the city, and led an expedition for food to relieve the siege. Caused a church to be built on the tomb of Saint Denis. In 1129, the procession of her relics through Paris is believed to have ended an epidemic.
