Margaret of Castello


I used to have a book about Blessed Margaret of Castello (she was called Margaret of Metola in the book), and it may still be around here somewhere. Today is the anniversary of her death in 1320. She is the one who was born a blind, deformed, hunchback midget and whose parents locked her up so no one would see her until she was 14 years old, at which time they took her to a shrine to pray for a cure. When no cure came they abandoned her there.
