Biography
Blessed Limbania was born in the late 12th century to a wealthy and noble family in Cyprus. Despite her family's efforts to arrange a proper marriage for her, Limbania felt a strong call to religious life from a young age. At the age of 12, she made a daring escape from her family and embarked on a ship bound for Genoa, Italy.
