My favorite saint is St. Dymphna because she was so courageous! Her mom sadly died when she was little so she lived with her father. Her mother believed in God with all of her heart! Her father was pagan and didn't believe in God. Dymphna's father wanted to marry again and he could not find anyone he wanted to be with. He demanded to marry his daughter, Dymphna. Dymphna ran away with a priest and one of her friends. They were caught and the priest got beheaded. St. Dymphna still refused to marry her own father and her father beheaded her. St. Dymphna stood up for what she thought was right and that is why she is my favorite Saint!
