Saint Zita of Lucca

c.1212-1272                 

Feast day: April 27

Patronage: Domestic workers, homemakers, lost keys, people ridiculed for their piety, rape victims, single laywomen, waitresses, Italian City of Lucca

Saint Zita of Lucca was born in Italy to a poor family. She grew up as an obedient child doing God’s will. At age 12, she became a housekeeper to a wealthy family in Lucca and ended up staying for 48 years. Daily Mass and prayers, along with her duties as a housekeeper, were part of her routine. She did these so perfectly that the other servants were jealous, but she won them over with her generous spirit. Initially, her employers were concerned with her gifts to the poor but accepted her acts of charity and “ trusted her with the keys” of freedom of the household to care for the poor, sick, and the prisoners. Her body is incorrupt to this day. On April 27th the people of Lucca bake bread and bring flowers to the church of San Frediano.

The Italian town of Lucca often gets forgotten about when it comes to American tourism. The focus often shifts to Lucca's rival city Pisa. Rival in the way of 2 close by towns with competing sports teams. But only in Lucca can you get this rolling view of the Dolomites. It's a wonderful place that is often forgotten that deserves more fame. It also is home to some very good resturants.

I don't get paid to praise the town of Lucca. I just wish more people knew about it and the secret garden I was standing in to take this amazing photo.
