Gertrud von Nivelles

...Agatha was tortured and then burned to death, and is therefore considered the patron saint of fire. Gertrud of Nivelles (626-659, feast day March 17th) was the patron saint of hospitals throughout the Middle Ages for her work with the sick, pilgrims, and prisoners, and later she was also the saint who protected grain from damage by rats and other insects. Cities were often the sites of festivals associated with the city when they were first established, and there are examples of these being linked to the legends of saints who became the objects of people's veneration.
