St Catherine de Ricci's Vision

A Dominican tertiary, "St Catherine de’ Ricci became especially well known for her ecstasies of the Passion. From 1542 to 1554, each Thursday and Friday she experienced in a trance the events of Christ’s passion, “acting out” its episodes herself. While in the same trance she would unconsciously exhort those about her with an eloquence beyond her native talent. She also received on her own body the stigmata (the wounds) of Christ’s Passion."

 

This stained glass window is from St Vincent Ferrer in NYC, and today (4 Feb) is her feast day.
