Saint Mariam Baouardy, a Discalced Carmelite nun, stigmatist, and mystic, was born to Greek Catholic parents in Palestine. Orphaned at two, her life was filled with much tragedy and martyrdom, even an attempt on her life by a rejected suitor and also suddenly being struck with total blindness, both times being cured by the Blessed Virgin. Eventually, she became a Carmelite in France. Known for her service to the poor, she helped found a Carmel in India and Bethlehem where she died. She is called the “The Little Arab” and “Lily of Palestine.”
