VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis on Friday, May 3, authorized the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to recognize a miracle attributed to Marie Christine of Savoy, Queen of the Two Sicilies from 1832 to 1836, setting her on the path to sainthood.
One miracle is required for a blessed person to be beatified, while two are required for canonization or sainthood. The Vatican did not specify what miracle Marie Christine is said to have performed.
Born in Cagliari in Sardinia in 1812, Marie Christine was the daughter of King Victor Emmanuel I from the house of Savoy, which went on to rule unified Italy for 85 years until 1946.
In 1832, she married Ferdinand II, King of the Two Sicilies. A pious young woman, she fought against capital punishment and was praised for her virtuous nature.
Marie Christine died in 1836 shortly after giving birth to her only son and was proclaimed “blessed” by the Vatican in 1859. – Rappler.com
