Explore "In God's Garden: Saint Faith" by Amy Steedman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Among the many martyrs who long ago gave up their lives, rather than deny their Master, we love to remember one little maid -- a child-martyr and saint. We do not know a great deal about her, for she lived so very long ago, but what we know makes us love and honour her, and speak her name with reverence.
Faith was the name of this little maiden, and her home was in France, in the pleasant country of Aquitaine. Her parents were rich and noble, and she was brought up carefully, and taught to be courteous and gentle to every one. But she did not need much teaching, for her nature was sweet and pure, and her face was fair, with the beauty that shines from within.
