Segolena of Albi

Saint Sigolena of Albi (fl. 7-8th. c.) was an Albigensian deaconess and saint from Albi, France.

Sigolena was born into a noble family of Aquitaine.

Upon her marriage to Gislulf at the age of 12, she offered her husband all of her possessions to "gain the freedom of her body". Her husband granted her desire for a Josephite marriage and encouraged her piety and charity. After ten years of marriage her husband died unexpectedly. Sigolena's biography was written by an anonymous author.

Miracles

During her life on earth, the miracles attributed to her include the cleansing of 2 lepers, the healing of 3 blind people (including a priest), and at least 9 exorcisms. Upon her death, when the nuns removed her garments to wash her body, they reported that "a wonderful odour suddenly became sprinkled around that same place".

Her feast day is July 24.
