St. Nicholas of Tolentino
Feast date: Sep 10
Born in 1246 in Sant’
He practiced severe mortifications and fasted strictly. He was known for obtaining healings for many of the sick who lived in Tolentino, where he spent the last 30 years of his life.
St. Nicholas’ bread, a roll of dough with a cross in the center, has its origin in the bread he used to give to the sick to eat after he had prayed for the Virgin Mary’s healing intercession.
St. Nicholas died September 10, 1306 and was canonized by Pope Eugene IV in 1446.
