St. Catherine is a patron saint of nurses. She was born in 1347 in Siena, central Italy, and is also known as “St. Catherine of Siena.” At the age of 21 years, she had a vision that inspired her to leave her home to support poor and sick people, starting to visit hospitals and poor people’s homes. She also wrote many letters of wisdom addressed to a wide audience - from royalty and academics to merchants and farmers - giving advice to those who sought it. Catherine was known for her strength and courage – she even advised the pope when she considered it necessary. She died in 1380 at the age of 33 years, and April 29, the day of her death, has come to be commemorated as St. Catherine’s day. In this image of St. Catherine, she is holding a symbolic lily flower and a cross, which was most dear to her.
