Brief Description of Subject: Was born in Siena, Italy on March 25, 1347 and was the youngest of 23 children. She became a religious when she joined the Dominican Tertiary at the age of sixteen. She is widely known for her writings and is a Doctor of the Church. She is also remembered for her prophecy visions, courage and forthright counsel to popes and world leaders, and for being instrumental in moving the papal seat back to Rome from France. She died in 1380 bearing the stigma which was invisible to all until her death.  The church celebrates her fest day on April 29. The chapel window shows her holding a book called the Dialog with the dome of the Vatican pictured in the background.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
