Mythology Summary

The thirteenth-century founder of the Poor Clares and the first woman to write a monastic rule. The patronage of television is a twentieth-century extension, from the legend that she saw and heard a Mass from her sickbed.

Modern Practice

The folk practice is for eyesight and for clear vision, literal and figurative. The corpus records the devotion and marks the television patronage as modern.
