'''Saint Rosalia''' (c. 1130 – c. 1166) was a [[Saints|Christian saint]] and hermitess, revered as the patroness of [[Palermo]], [[Sicily]]. Born in [[Palermo]], she abandoned noble life to live as a hermit on [[Monte Pellegrino]], under the [[Diocese of Palermo]]. Her intercession is credited with saving Palermo from a plague in 1624. Canonized by pre-congregation recognition, her feast day on September 4 in the [[Roman Rite]] draws pilgrims to her relics in [[Palermo, Sicily]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://catholicsaints.info/saint-rosalia/|title=Saint Rosalia|publisher=CatholicSaints.Info|access-date=May 26, 2025}}</ref> | |||
Saint Rosalia’s ascetic life and miraculous protection of Sicily inspired widespread devotion.
