Biography

Saint Bega, also known as Saint Bee, was born in the 7th century in Ireland to a noble family. According to historical accounts, she was betrothed to the Prince of Norway as part of an arranged marriage. However, Bega had a strong desire to dedicate her life and virginity to the Lord, so she refused the arrangement and decided to flee.
