Pictured is a wooden polychrome statue of Saint Rita of Cascia in the Church of Saint Stephen in Menaggio on Lake Como. St. Rita was born in 1381 and died in 1457. She is a Saint venerated in the Roman Catholic Church and bestowed the title of Patroness for impossible causes. Various miracles have been attributed to her. In Christian iconography, she is depicted with a bleeding forehead wound and sometimes holding a thorn. The forehead wound is understood to represent partial religious stigmatization and external sign of mystical union with Christ.
