I added that she is a patron saint of virgins as well (because she protected her chastity from her father). Her chaplets are sometimes sold in the white (for virginity) and red (for martyrdom) as well as the traditional green. I figuring adding the martyr thing is a little redundant though. I think the insanity word is a liitle offensive, but than again I realize its use in its historical usage, so I don't have a problem as it is. Khirad 03:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Even though she protected her chastity from her father, she has never been the patron saint for virgins. Sorry if this comes out a bit harsh but you can't arbitrarily add patronage based on the color of the chaplet and story. Long standing tradition is that St. Agnes is the patron saint of virgins. Her and Joan of Arc. --Dysepsion 03:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

please add pronunciation info. thanks!

Eastern Orthodox connection

I've checked the website of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North America (www.goarch.org) and can not find any cross reference to Saint Dymphna under any of the given spellings. In addition, the Canonical Calendar for May 15 shows:

On Tuesday, May 15, 2012 we celebrate 5th Tuesday after Pascha Pachomius the Great Achillius the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Larissa Barbaros the Myrrhbearer of Kerkyra Andrew the Hermit & Wonderworker

(http://www.goarch.org/chapel/dateceleb_view?m=5&d=15&y=2012 retrieved 9 May 2012)

That being said, she is recognized by the Antiochian Orthodox Church (http://www.antiochian.org/content/st-dymphna-martyr-belgium-0), The Orthodox Church in America (OCA- originally tied to the Russian Orthodox Church, and now auto cephalous) (http://www.saintsmaryandmarthaorthodoxmonastery.org/newsletter_Jan2006.html), and references to her are found on the Orthodoxwiki and several other sites which are dedicated to pre-Schismatic saints.

I'm going to check with personal sources on this matter, but it might be worth consideration to be more specific than just "Eastern Orthodox" on the side bar of this article.

commemoration changed?

I've looked over the issue of Notitiae where the 2004 changes are announced and I can't find her mentioned, or a change of her date.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:35, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Poetess or fawn?

According to this source, damh has meanings of "ox", "stag" or "strong". (see also Wiktionary). But only this source states about "damh" meaning "poet". Whom should we believe? Mark Ekimov (talk) 11:15, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Folkloric Connection

Saint Dymphna's hagiography appears to have strong connections to the "Donkey Skin" fairy tale, Aarne-Thompson type 510B, 'unnatural love'. I think it important that this be recognized with a See Also heading and hyperlink to the Wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkeyskin

along with a link specific to the city's therapeutic tradition of de-institutionalized mental healthcare
