Top 10 Female Saints

Blessed Virgin Mary

Without her, we would not have our blessed savior, Jesus Christ. She told God she would do whatever He wanted, which is a big commitment.

Such a blessed and strong woman. No doubt the best saint of all time.

She is the one who gave birth to Christ, who saved us all.

Saint Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc, nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans," is considered a heroine of France for her role in the final phase of the Hundred Years' War. She claimed visions of saints including St. Michael the Archangel, St. Catherine of Alexandria, and St. Margaret of Antioch, who urged her to lead French forces against... read more

She is just not afraid of anything. I would be afraid, too.

Led France to victory over the British.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta

Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 - 5 September 1997), also known as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. Although her passport name was Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu, she was born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Üsküb, now Skopje, capital of North Macedonia. After living... read more

What a wonderful woman. She had so much love to give and cared deeply for those living in poverty. I only hope that one day I could have just a fraction of the love in my heart that Mother Teresa had for the world. She is a true inspiration.

Her relevance today, especially in overcoming the temptations we all face, far outweighs that of bygone eras we cannot relate to.

Saint Catherine of Siena

Saint Teresa, Agnes, and Lucila. Siena is among them as one of the toughest women in religion, by the looks of it. They can really keep things interesting. It's a real change of heart in how to view such figures. They can be feared or admired, and also judged by demeanor and appearance in their pictograms.
Interesting stuff. These women seem sane compared with other figures, which is sad when you consider how often people are viewed based on desire. Nero and Caligula might win or lose on a whim. Their interesting victories, paired with cruel behavior at home, are something else worth mentioning.
Anyway, I'm voting for Catherine on this one. She's a good Saint indeed. Religion runs in my family. I'm Orthodox Romanian and a brother in a small family that went west but kept home ties, somewhat, while trying to explore more of the planet.
So I see history as something important to learn from, to say the least. Currency and coins, in a similar fashion. But yeah, good going to Saint Siena for doing what she ought to in the Church, I guess.

Saint Teresa of Ávila

Without a doubt the greatest female saint after the Virgin Mary. Her purity and holiness are second to none.
The current list seems to be in manifest error. The list should be as follows: Virgin Mary, Teresa of Avila, Catherine of Alexandria, Catherine of Siena, Barbara, Joan of Arc, Clare of Assisi, Mary Magdalene, Clare of Montefalco, and Therese of Lisieux.

A great mystic and reformer who had a good sense of humor.

An outside-the-box thinker with a witty sense of humor.

Saint Agnes of Rome

She chose to suffer martyrdom at age 12 rather than deny Christ.

She is my favorite Christian saint.

Saint Anne

She is our patron and the mother of the Virgin Mary.

Saint Lucia

She has a national holiday in Sweden, so yeah.

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Saint Bridget of Sweden

?

Agatha of Sicily

?

Saint Agnes of Bohemia

Saint Cecilia

Patron saint of music.

Saint Mary Magdalene

She was the disciple who first witnessed the resurrection of Christ.

Beloved disciple, as Jesus called her.

Saint Maria Goretti

St. Maria Goretti is an Italian virgin-martyr of the Catholic Church and one of its youngest canonized saints.

She lived on a farm in Nettuno, Italy, at the beginning of the 20th century. After her father died of malaria, Maria helped care for her younger siblings while her mother worked in the... read more

One of the best saints ever!

Saint Catherine of Alexandria

Catherine of Alexandria was a highly educated young woman from Alexandria, Egypt, who was martyred under the rule of Emperor Maxentius. She is considered a Christian saint and martyr. Joan of Arc claimed that Saint Catherine was one of the voices that inspired her to lead France during the Hundred Years... read more

Philosopher and student, who chose to suffer martyrdom rather than deny Christ.

Saint Hildegard of Bingen

Saint Clare of Assisi

My mum chose her, and I want to pick her because she cared for the poor, and that's what I want to do.

Cared for the poor.

Saint Bernadette Soubirous

Saint Rita of Cascia

Saint of impossible causes.

Saint Isabelle of France

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary

Saint Edith Stein

Saint Mary Faustina Kowalska

Saint Candida

Saint Adela

Jesus' family and those who walked with him should be at the very top, but the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, is more than just a saint. She is the sacred heart of our savior, her son Jesus Christ.

Most popular saint in the world.
