Saint of the Day – 29 March – Blessed Cecilia Attendoli (Died 1531) OFM Virgin and Third Order Nun of Cotignola, Italy (Franciscan Martyrology).
Blessed Cecilia Attendoli of Cotignola was a Nun who lived between the 15th and 16th Centuries.
Little and scant information has been preserved about this blessed nun and in the past some authors have mistakenly idetified her as Cecilia Codignola da Vigevano.
Blessed Cecilia belonged to the Third Order of Saint Francis. She lived her entire life in the monastery of Santa Chiara in Mortara.
Tradition tells us she was a woman of virtue who performed miracles during her lifetime and was taken by her father to the Poor Clare Monastery in Mortara. Her name is associated with two Blessed Poor Clares of the same Monastery, Blessed Ippolita di Melegnano and Blessed Elisabetta (or Lisabetta).
The casket containing the Relics of Bl Cecilia may be located in the Basilica of San Lorenzo.
