Where did the name Karen come from? Kateri Tekawitha

On my refrigerator hangs a small holy picture of Kateri Tekawitha. When my kids were little they had a Saint coloring book and it told the history of  where a name came from. Karen comes from Katherine or Kateri. Kateri's mother was an Algonquin Christian who was captured in a Mohawk raid, her father was a strict  Mohawk. When she was four years old a smallpox epidemic swept through her village of Ossernenon,  Smallpox took the lives of her mother, father and baby brother. It left Kateri with many scars. Kateri's fathers family took her in. This village of Ossernenon is the same place where Sts.Isaac Jogues, Rene Grupil, and Johnde LaLande were martyred.  In 1675 missionaries came to her village where they only made one convert, Kateri.  She was baptized on Easter 1675. Whenever she walked outside other children would tease her, and throw rocks at her because of her scars and her faith.  Her  family used any excuse to beat her. Father Jacques de Lamberville was afraid that real harm would come to her so he suggested she move to the Algonquin Village, across the St. Lawrence River, at the Mission of St. Francis Xavier. She left on her journey alone and on foot on July 4th, 1677 and arrived in October. At the mission Kateri met Anastasia Tegonhatsihonga, an Algonquin Christian woman who had known her mother. Anastasia invited Kateri to live with her where she could practice her faith without fear. She attended masses daily and vespers at the end of the day. Two days before Easter in 1680 she became very sick and died. As she lay dying, those that prayed at her bedside saw changes come over her. All the scars from smallpox disappeared, her face became beautiful and illuminated. On December 19th, 2011 Pope Benedict XVI  granted approval for Blessed Kateri to be canonized. A miracle took place in 2005 that cleared the way for Kateri. Jake Finkbonner was playing basketball when he fell and split his lip. It became infected and that led to a flesh eating disease. Jake's parents were told he was going to die and they arranged for a priest to administer the Last Rites. At the suggestion of friends and family they prayed  to Blessed Kateri for a miracle. Jake is a descendant of the Lummi Tribe of the Pacific Northwest  Jake is now a healthy, happy 11 year old. St. Kateri Tekawitha's feast day will be celebrated on July 14.
