Biography
Venerated in France since the times of the Crusades, this saint was the daughter of King Frédélas, and when she was born, her father, furious because she was not a boy, ordered the matron to throw her into the river. However, she gave her to a rich lady who educated her piously and who, when she died, bequeathed her fortune to her. Natalena dedicated her entire life to giving alms and doing charitable works.
