Perseveranda

Saint Perseveranda (also called Pecinna, Pezaine, Pexine or Pezenne) was a holy virgin from Spain who came to Poitiers in France with her sisters or friends Macrina and Columba. They founded a convent there at Tauriacus, now the quarter of Sainte-⁠Pezenne in Poitou. She reposed around 726, while fleeing from robbers, worn out by the flight, at a place that now bears her name, Sainte-⁠Pezaine.

She is commemorated on 26 June among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
