Life edit

She was born Madeleine Cinquin in Brussels, Belgium, the daughter of a French father, Jules Cinquin, and a Belgian mother, Berthe Lenssens. Her parents were wealthy lingerie manufacturers; their background was from Saint-Omer. Her paternal grandmother, Laure Mélanie Dreyfus, was the daughter of an Alsatian Jew named Emmanuel Moïse Augustin Dreyfus and a Christian mother. He was born in Wissembourg, Bas-Rhin, and started the family lingerie business.[1] At the age of six she saw her father drown.

Madeleine Cinquin was educated at the Sorbonne, earning a degree in philosophy. In 1929, she became a religious sister in the Congregation of Our Lady of Sion, where she took the religious name Emanuelle. In the 1930s, Sr. Emmanuelle started teaching at the Notre-Dame de Sion High School in Istanbul, where she lived until the 1960s, with teaching assignments by her congregation of several years in Tunis and Alexandria in between.[2]

In 1971, Sr. Emmanuelle witnessed the impoverished conditions of the trash collectors in Cairo, Egypt, and decided to live among them. She remained there until 1993, when she returned to France. It was upon her return that she gained the status of a media sensation in France, as she was well received by audiences and talk-show hosts.[3]

In addition to her charity work, she was known for her unorthodox religious views, including her approval of the use of contraception and of the idea of allowing priests to marry.[3] She was voted one of the most popular people in both France and Belgium,[3] and was compared to Mother Teresa, although she herself regarded the comparison as "ridiculous". In 2003, a French television station broadcast the documentary, Soeur Emmanuelle: An Exceptional Woman. In 2005 Sr. Emmanuelle ended in fifth place in the Walloon version of Le plus grand Belge (The Greatest Belgian).

Sr. Emmanuelle died on 20 October 2008, in Callian, Var, in France.[4] She died in her sleep from natural causes, less than four weeks from celebrating her 100th birthday.[3]

Honors edit

Les Amis de Soeur Emmanuelle ("The Friends of Sister Emmanuelle") is a charitable organization based in Brussels.[5]

French Singer Calogero dedicated a song to her named "Yalla", which means "move on, move forward" in Arabic, something she was famous for saying. The song was sung to her for her 98th birthday.

In 2018, for the 10th anniversary of her death, the city of Paris decided to name a street after her. The Allée Soeur-Emmanuelle is situated on the boulevard Raspail, between the allée Claude-Cahun-Marcel-Moore and the boulevard du Montparnasse, where are the headquarters of Congregation of Our Lady of Sion.[6]
