SAINT EVE, VIRGIN AND MARTYR
Saint Eve (Eva) was a virgin and martyr. Her mortal remains came to Dreux (Drocae), where they rest at the basilica of Saint Stephen. According to Castellan* and the more recent Paris Martyrology*, this holy lady is venerated there. The Bollandists* did not provide any additional information about this saint. (II. 654)
