Thumette

Saint Thumette is a Breton saint whom the Catholic Church has not officially recognized, but who enjoys popular veneration in Brittany. Her commemoration is on 8 May.

She is the sister of Saint Enéour and is said to have been, like Saint Evette, one of the companions of Saint Ursula, seized and martyred by the Huns before Cologne in the year 383. Her name is kept in the commune of Landunvez; churches of Sainte-⁠Thumette stand at Plomeur, Névez and Kérity, and statues of her at Moëlan-⁠sur-⁠Mer and in the Valley of the Saints. She is venerated by the faithful, without synodal canonization.
