Ruth (/ruːθ/; Hebrew: רוּת‎, Modern: Rūt, Tiberian: Rūṯ) is the person after whom the Book of Ruth is named. She was a Moabite woman who married an Israelite. After the death of all the male members of her family (her husband, her father-in-law, and her brother-in-law), she stays with her mother-in-law, Naomi, and moves to Judah with her, where Ruth wins the love and protection of a wealthy relative, Boaz, through her kindness.[1]

She is one of five women mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus found in the Gospel of Matthew, alongside Tamar, Rahab, the "wife of Uriah" (Bathsheba), and Mary.[2]

Saint Ruth is not a patron saint of any specific thing, but was declared a saint posthumously by the Roman Catholic Church. Saint Ruth is a biblical figure that is prominent in Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
