Blessed Cristiana Di Paride

Blessed Cristiana Di Paride, also known as Cristiana of Assisi, was born in the early 13th century in Italy. She belonged to a noble family, the daughter of Cristiano di Paride, a knight who served as consol of Assisi. Cristiana's strong religious inclination led her to enter the Poor Clare monastery of San Damiano in 1246 or 1247.
