St. Hunna

St. Hunna was born in the 7th century to a duke. She was known as being kind to the poor. One of her acts of service was washing the laundry of her needy neighbors in Strasbourg. Her neighbors called her the "Holy Washerwoman."

She married Hunon, who founded the village of Hunawihr in her name. Their son Deodatus became a monk. She and Hunon spent their lives donating money and land for churches and monasteries and serving the local poor through personal encounters. She was always willing to clean or do laundry for the poor. Though she was well-loved, there is not much else known about her. She died in 679.

She is the patron of laundry workers and washerwomen. Her feast day is April 15.
