Saint Hyacintha Mariscotti, T.O.R., (†1640) was an Italian nun of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis. She wore an old tunic, went barefoot, frequently fasted on bread and water, and chastised her body by vigils and self-flagellation. During the outbreak of a plague in the city, she became noted for her devotion in nursing the sick. Hyacintha went on to establish two confraternities, whose members were called Oblates of Mary or "Sacconi". By the time of her death, Hyacintha's reputation for holiness was so great, that, at her wake, her religious habit had to be replaced three times. This was due to pieces of it being snipped off by the people to keep as a relic. Hyacintha was beatified by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726, and canonized on 14 May 1807 by Pope Pius VII. Today her remains are preserved for veneration in the church of her now-defunct monastery, which today bears her name. Hyachintha's feast day is celebrated on 30 January by the Third Order of St. Francis.
