Patron Saint: The Feast of Corpus Christi
Also Known as: Heva, Blessed Eva of Liege
Memorial Feast: May 26th
Canonized: Cultus Confirmed in 1902
Why she is venerated by the Holy Roman Catholic Church:
Hermit
Close friend of St. Juliana of Liege, who was the Prioress of Mount Cornillon. Juliana was deeply touched by the enthusiasm of Eva regarding the need for a feast to celebrate the Blessed Sacrament. This was proposed through many channels inside of the Church with little success for years. St. Juliana and St. Eva worked hard together, and in time the Feast was instituted shortly after the accession of Pope Urban.
Saint Eva and Juliana are entirely responsible for the Papal recognition and creation of the Blessed Feast of Corpus Christi
