There are three noted girl saints from three separate towns in the island of Sicily. They are: Saint Agatha from Catania, Saint Lucy from Syracuse, and Saint Rosalia from Palermo. Saint Rosalia lived a religious life in a cave on a mountain, three miles from her home, though her family was wealthy and prosperous. Her relics were discovered in 1624. The town of Palermo calls her its special patroness and prays to her in all its needs.
