Died: March 12, 1253

Feast Day: March 12

Patronage: people with disabilities, physically challenged people, spinners, San Gimignano

Saint Seraphina, an Italian Christian girl was a pious youth and diligent house keeper who helped her mother spin and sew.  At 10 years old, she endured the deaths of her parents and a paralyzing illness that confined her for the rest of her life on a bed made from a wooden pallet.  Devoted to St. Gregory the Great, he appeared to her to predict her death. She died as predicted on his feast day at age 15 and white violets bloomed from the pallet after her body was removed.
