Today (24. July) is the feast day of:
Christina the Astonishing (blessed) (d. 1224) Christina with the really
great nickname was born near Liege in 1150. In 1182 she had a
cataleptic
fit, which set off a series of incredible mystical phenomenathat lasted
the
rest of her life.
[One of my favorite tales. My recollection is that Christina was so
disgusted by the smell of human flesh that she levitated to the roof beams
of the church. --TLL]
