Saint Zita, born around 1212 in Monsagrati near Lucca, Italy, was a 13th-century servant whose humble piety elevated her to sainthood, known as the patroness of maids. At 12, she entered the Fatinelli household in Lucca as a domestic worker, enduring harsh treatment with patience for 48 years. Renowned for miracles—turning bread to flowers when caught giving alms, or finding water in a dry well—she shared her meager wages with the poor, often fasting to do so. She died on April 27, 1272, at about 60, her body found incorrupt, a marvel that fueled her cult in Lucca’s Basilica of San Frediano. | Saint Zita, born around 1212 in Monsagrati near Lucca, Italy, was a 13th-century servant whose humble piety elevated her to sainthood, known as the patroness of maids.
