St. Fina (also
known as Seraphina) was born in San Gimignano, Italy, in 1238 and died
there in 1253. She took a vow of chastity, but never became a nun and lived
at home under obedience to the Benedictines. She patiently suffered constant,
repulsive diseases, as she lay ill, she worked many miracles, e.g. she
restored a choirboy's sight. In a vision, Pope Saint
Gregory the Great warned her of her approaching death at the age of 15.
At her passing, all the bells of the town spontaneously began to ring,
her room was found full of flowers. Her dead hand cured her nurse
of a serious disease.
Fina is the patron saint
of at San Gimignano.
See: Domenico Ghirlandaio The
Funeral of St. Fina.
