Saint Veronica Giuliani was a Mystic and Italian Capuchin Poor Clares Nun whom imbued with sincere humility, that she considered herself the lowliest member of the community. At the same time, she greatly inspired all by her obedience and love of poverty and mortification. She wrote prolifically in Her Diary where in obedience, she documented her mystical experiences. On Good Friday, at the age of 37 years old, St Veronica received the Stigmata from Christ and later, the Crown of Thorns was impressed on her head amid untold sufferings.
Saint Veronica Giuliani was one of the rare saints who had received the stigmata. Whenever the wounds were opened, Fr. Salvatori recorded that "they emitted so delicious a fragrance throughout the whole of the convent that this alone was sufficient to inform the nuns whenever the stigmata had been renewed."

At SVG Candles, our mission is to honour our love for Christ through the remarkable intercession of Saint Veronica Giuliani. At the end of the day, our aim is to make her known and to continue to spread the journey of her powerful vocation to Christ that ultimately arises from love, prayer and devotion.
We also remember one of the Four Angels, our beautiful Veronique Sakr on this day. Bridget, Veronique’s mother celebrates her birthday today also, on the 9th July 💙
