MARIA MELISSER, VIRGIN
Maria Melisser was a devout sister of the Third Order of Saint Francis of Assisi at Kisseleg in Swabia [Germany] (in the upper region of Württemberg [Oberland]).
With heroic patience she bore an illness which caused her body to turn gangrenous. Having suffered with it for seven years, she finally went to her eternal reward on May 20, 1625. After her death she was glorified by miracles. (Hub.)
This holy virgin is remembered on March 27 as well as on May 20.
