St. Eanswythe (also Eanswith, Eanswide and pronounced Inswith) has from time immemorial been venerated as “the spiritual mother of Kent” and “the wonderworker of Kent.” The center of her veneration is Folkestone—a seaside resort and fishing town on the south-east coast of Kent, on the very edge of England.
Saint Eanswith is often depicted as a nun wearing a crown, symbolizing her royal lineage, and holding either a church or a fish, representing her connection to the coast and her devotion to Christ. Her feast days are celebrated on September 12th and, formerly, on August 31st.
