Rosalia Lombardo (sometimes called "The Sleeping Beauty") was a Sicilian child who died of the Spanish flu, just before her second birthday. Her unusually well-preserved corpse is housed in the Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo, where it has become a tourist attraction.
As you see, my username is Rosalia. That's my name, and I love it. I was named after my grandmother. Rosalia is a Sicilian saint that had a story. I'll tell you that story.Before Rosalia was a saint, she was a princess in the 12th century of Palermo, Sicily of Italy. Rosalia was very much in love with God. At an age, she had an arranged marriage. She didn't want to marry the man, though. She told her parents that she would run away with God to a cave. Of natural causes, she died.In the 17th-century, the plague went around. One day, a hunter had a vision of her. He found her, and then the plague stopped.So that's the story of Santa Rosalia. I hoped you enjoyed it!
