Syra of Troyes (original) (raw)

Saint Syra of Troyes (or Syre; died c. 640) was an Irish woman, sister of Saint Fiacre, who became a nun in France and died in Meaux but came to be venerated in Troyes. Her story has been conflated with that of a woman named Syria who died in Troyes in the 4th or 5th century. Her feast day is 8 June.
