Blessed Eustochium Of Padua

Blessed Eustochium of Padua, also known as Lucrezia Bellini and often referred to as the Cinderella of the Cloister, was born in 1444 at the San Prosdocimo convent in Padua, Italy. Her mother, a nun at the convent, had sadly broken her vow of chastity and as a result, Lucrezia grew up within the walls of the monastery.
