Saints celebrated on the 24th of October
CLARA HORTULANA OF EMBACH, VIRGIN
Clara Hortulana of Embach, a Poor Clare at the former Angerkloster in Munich, died a quick and sudden death in 1689 by falling from the upper choir onto the lower choir. About nine years after her death, part of her blood, which the sisters had collected after the accident and kept near her grave, became quite liquid and clear like ruby, like red wine, in the cold month of February. Huber* adds that he and many others have personally verified this matter with their own eyes. (Hub Men.)
