Christina the Astonishing
Christina the Astonishing (c. 1150 – c. 1224), also known as Christina Mirabilis, was a Christian holy woman born in Brustem, Belgium. Christina is primarily known for her legendary resurrection during her funeral mass, and numerous other miracles attributed to her during her life. Thomas of Cantimpré wrote a hagiography of her based on accounts from people who knew her, which made her known outside of Sint-Truiden.
