Saint Lydwine (Lidwina)

I'm always excited to find a new saint!

I was reading a book (Divine Milieu), and I came across a list of people on a page of the book which included someone I had not heard of before ...

• Job (Biblical Figure)
• Augustine (Saint)
• Magdalen (Biblical Figure and Saint)
• Lydwine (Saint)

... I knew everyone on the list except Saint Lydwine

I was researching online about who was this new saint (Saint Lydwine), and I found a wonderful site right here on blogger about saints - 365 Saints... be sure to check it out (and it does differ from 365 Rosaries also here on blogger - check out both of them)
