Today I present another figure from the collection of saints. This time it's Saint Rita of Cascia.
The Saint Rita feast day is celebrated every May 22. On this day one bring roses to the church that are dedicated to her. Saint Rita is known to be a patroness for abused wives and
mourning women. She has acquired the reputation as a saint of
impossible cases.
I have recently watched a movie about the life of this saint, entitled "Rita da Cascia". Very touching movie. I highly recommend it.
Here are some pictures:
