Our Lady of the Phillipines

This one shamelessy nicked from Micki and Holy Cards for Your Inspiration - one of my favorite blogs. This holy card is absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't resist posting it here. I am so very touched by the innocent looks on the faces of Our Lady and Our Lord, notice how He gives Himself to His Mother's embrace. We are all to seek shelter in her holy arms!

St. Winifred

Also St. Gwenfrewy or Winefride, she was the daughter of a Welsh nobleman, Tyfid ap Eiludd. Her suitor, Caradog, was enraged when she decided to become a nun, and decapitated her. Her head rolled downhill, and, where it stopped, a healing spring appeared. Winefride's head was subsequently rejoined to her body due to the efforts of her maternal uncle, Saint Beuno, and she was restored to life. She later became a nun and abbess at Gwytherin in Denbighshire, and Caradog, cursed by St. Beuno, melted into the ground. She died 660.
