Saint Catherine de' Ricci (†1590), was an Italian Dominican Tertiary sister venerated for her mystic visions and is honored as a saint by the Catholic Church. She is believed to have had miraculous visions and corporeal encounters with Jesus, both with the infant Jesus and with the adult Jesus. She is said to have spontaneously bled with the wounds of the crucified Christ. Her feast day is commemorated on February 2 and she is considered a patron saint of the sick.
