Answer:

Saint Foy was a 12-year-old girl who lived in third-century Agen (now France). She was arrested during the prosecution of Christians by the Roman empire. When she refused to make a sacrifice toward the pagan gods she was tortured and killed. Her martyrdom inspired many Christian believers and she is now venerated in Conques, France where pilgrimages are held every year.
