Saint Marie-Hermine of Jesus (1866-1900, born Irma Grivot) was a French nun who died for her faith in China during the Boxer Rebellion and was canonised in 2000.[1] She is one of the group known as the Martyr Saints of China who were canonised by Pope John Paul II 1 October 2000.[2][3][4][5]
She was born Irma Grivot on 28 April 1866 in Beaune, France, and joined the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary in a prenovitiate in 1894 at Vanves and then her novitiate at Le Châtelet.[1] In 1899 she was the mother superior of a group of seven sisters from the order who went to Taiyuan, China, arriving on 4 May 1899, to set up an orphanage at the mission there under bishop Gregorio Grassi.[6]
On 5 July 1900, during the Boxer Rebellion, the Christians at the mission were ordered to renounce their faith or face death; at 4pm on 9 July the priests, nuns, seminarians and Christian lay workers were all killed, in what is known as the Taiyuan massacre.[6] Marie-Hermine was beatified by Pope Pius XII on 24 November 1946 and canonised by Pope John Paul II on 1 October 2000 as one of a group of 120 Martyr Saints of China.[1]
