Columba was at one time venerated throughout France; as Rabenstein reported, "the historical monuments of Sens still testify to this devotion". A chapel was later built over her relics, and the Abbey of Sens, which at one time was a pilgrimage site in her honor, was eventually built there. She was the patron saint of Andorra and might have been the patron of Chevilly Church in Paris. She is invoked to bring about rain or avoid drought. She is portrayed "as a crowned maiden in chains", with a dog or bear on a chain, holding a book and a peacock's feather, with an angel on a funeral pyre, or beheaded. Her principal attribute is a she-bear. Her feast day is December 31.
