Biography

Blessed Sibyllina Biscossi, also known as Sibyllina of Pavia, was born in 1287 in Pavia, Lombardy, Italy. Unfortunately, she was orphaned at a very young age and did not receive any formal education. By the age of 10, Sibyllina was already working as a domestic servant to make a living. Tragically, she became blind at the tender age of 12, but the cause of her blindness remains unknown to us.
