'''Saint Gemma Galgani''' (March 12, 1878 – April 11, 1903), also known as the "Daughter of the Passion" or the "Flower of Lucca," was an Italian mystic and [[Saints|saint]] canonized by the [[Roman Catholic Church]] in 1940. Born in Camigliano, [[Tuscany]], [[Italy]], she was deeply devoted to the [[Passionists|Congregation of the Passion of Jesus]] and experienced profound mystical phenomena, including the stigmata, ecstasies, and visions of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and her guardian angel. Despite her desire to join a [[Religious order|religious order]], poor health prevented her from becoming a nun, and she lived as a layperson, serving as a housekeeper and caring for her siblings after being orphaned at 19. Her life of prayer, suffering, and charity, particularly for the poor, earned her widespread veneration in the [[Diocese of Lucca]] and beyond.
