St. Dymphna, born in seventh century Ireland, is best known through legend, which proclaims her the daughter of a Celtic chieftain. She supposedly fled her home after her mother died to escape the unwholesome interests of her father. Dymphna, her confessor, St. Gerebernus, and two companions founded an oratory near Amsterdam and became hermits. But her father hunted them down and murdered her three friends. When St. Dymphna refused to return with him, he beheaded her. An asylum for the mentally ill was built on the site where the relics of the four martyrs were found.

The St. Dymphna Sterling Silver Medal honors her as the Patron Saint of mental illness, epilepsy, and rape victims. Her Feast Day is May 15.
