Burgundofara (Fara) was the daughter of Count Agneric, courtier of King Theodebert II.

Named Evoriacum, the convent was renamed for her after her death, and in time became the famous Benedictine Abbey of Faremoutiers. She is also known as Fare. Her feast day is April 3rd.

    I'd like to know more about St. Fara. As a Catholic I need to have a name of a Saint at Baptism. So I would like to know where my name came from. I was also my grandmothers name and she was born in Sicily
