Saint Rita of Cascia (1381-1457): A Beacon of Faith and Perseverance This beautifully colored engraving depicts Saint Rita of Cascia, an Italian Augustinian nun born in 1381 in Roccapelosa, Italy. Known for her deep faith and unwavering devotion to God, Rita is venerated as the Patron Saint of impossible causes, difficult marriages, and parenthood. The image captures Rita in her habit, her hands folded in prayer, with a crucifix held close to her heart. Surrounding her are children, a boy and a girl, symbolizing her love for and dedication to the next generation. The floor beneath her is adorned with flowers, representing the miraculous blooming of a rose bush at the site of her deathbed. Rita's life was marked by trials and tribulations. She was married at a young age to a violent husband, from whom she sought refuge in a monastery after his death. She later became a nun and lived a devout life, enduring numerous hardships, including the stigmata – the mystical wounds of Christ's Passion. Saint Rita's story is a testament to her unwavering faith and perseverance, inspiring countless individuals throughout Europe and beyond. This 19th-century colored engraving serves as a reminder of her legacy and the enduring power of faith in the face of adversity.
