    A ruin can still be seen which she built. There are very few people in the district called after her. This Saints' father was a Prince and the people that lived around him were very poor. The Saint was very good to the people. There was a big bin of meal in her house and she divided the meal around on the people. When the Prince heard what she did he became very angry and he was going to Punish her. But he went to the bin and he found it full of meal. This was one miracle she worked during her life.
