Re: [lace] Lacemaking saint?

2008-10-21 Thread Sister Claire
Zelie Martin was the mother of nine children, four of whom died in infancy.
In addition to dealing with the death of her children, she had to cope with
a great deal of financial stress, family illness, and so on.

She entered a lacemaking school in Alencon as a young adult and in 1851 went
into business for herself. She ran that business for seven years before she
married and continued to help support her family with her lacemaking income
until her death. By the end of her life she had a shop and several
lacemakers working for her. She died in 1877 of breast cancer.

I'm looking around to see if examples of her own lace are extant and on
display somewhere.

That is a very capsulized version of her life. Several of her daughters
became Carmelite nuns, including Therese, who later was canonized and is a
much-loved saint in many parts of the world.

I don't know what else to add, really.

Here's a quote from the piece about Selie Martin:-
she had a tremendous enthusiasm for life and was a highly skilled lace 
maker and an astute business woman; yet her sights were firmly set on 
Heaven. She was a great letter writer, and her many letters give insight 
into her character. She comes across as a vivacious and witty woman who 
is not only deeply perceptive, but also critical of the society in which 
she lived and, by her own admission, impatient.


Sounds like whe would have been an Arachne member, had she been around now!

I haven't yet found out if any of Zelie's lace is still to be seen, but I

Andrew is a patron of lacemaking, too.

The thing about patron saints is that it is not doctrine and anyone can make
any saint patron of anything.

I chose Zélie Martin as the patron for my lacemaking because we have a

Hi All,

As well as those on the list, maybe St Andrew should be added!He is the 
patron saint of netters, which could be loosely allied to lacemaking.His 
day is November 30th, just after St Catherine's day - Nov 25th.   (Although 
I was Anglican for the whole of my life, I converted to being a Roman 
Catholic on St Catherine's Day in 2001 - the priest suggested I take thename

Dear Lacemakers,

There are so many occupations in so many nations, that probably  some have
few (or no) Patron Saints.

Isn't it wonderful that lacemakers have so many clearly  defined Patron
Saints!

We've written about St. Catherine of Alexandria on Arachne before, and  you
can research on Google and other search sites.

The following is for our Newbies:

My favorite cookbook, though I do not cook or bake, is Cattern Cakes and
Lace - A Calendar of Feasts by Julia Jones and Barbara Deer, 1987,  ISBN
0-86318-252-6.  It is beautifully illustrated with old laces, old lace  tools,
flowers, old pictures.  Love book so much, I have two copies -  one in the
kitchen
(where it can be quickly found) and one on the library  shelves.

November 15th is St. Catherine's Day, so the calendar in the book  starts
then, and ends November 24th.  The first recipe is Cattern Cakes  (named after
St. Catherine),  On the cover of every issue of Lace  published by The Lace
Guild in England, there is a depiction of what appears to  be a Catherine
Wheel
(a tribute to her?), which was the device on which she was  tortured to death
during the rule of Emperor Maxentius in 310 A.D.

(This day has also been chosen to honor Queen Katherine of Aragon, a patron
of local lacemakers in England.)

Are there any other books about Saints who were lacemakers' patrons -  in
English language?  I mean books that have an emphasis on a  historical lace
connection, not religious books.

Hello all,
In our yesterday's newspaper, was an article as follows.
Lisieux - The parents of a Catholic Saint were beatified in France yesterday 
at a ceremoney attended by more than 10,000 believers. Louis and Zelie 
Martin, parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, are said to have miraculous 
powers to heal children. They are held up as true models for modern-day 
families. Louis died in 1894 and Zelie, a lacemaker, died in 1877.

Does anyone know more about this lacemaking saint?

Born to a pious middle-class French family of tradesmen; daughter of Blessed

sisters became nuns. Her mother died when Francoise-Marie was only four, and
the family moved to Lisieux, Normandy, France to be closer to family. Cured
from an illness at age eight when a statue of the Blessed Virgin smiled at
her. Educated by the Benedictine nuns of Notre-Dame-du-Pre. Confirmed there
at age eleven. Just before her 14th birthday she received a vision of the
Child Jesus; she immediately understood the great sacrifice that had been
made for her, and developed an unshakeable faith. Tried to join the
Carmelites, but was turned down due to her age. Pilgrim to Rome at for the
Jubilee of Pope Leo XIII whom she met and who knew of her desire to become a
nun. Joined the Carmelites at Lisieux on 9 April 1888 at age 15, taking her
final vow on 8 September 1890 at age 17. Known by all for her complete
devotion to spiritual development and to the austerities of the Carmelite
rule. Due to health problems resulting from her ongoing fight with
tuberculosis, her superiors ordered her not to fast. Novice mistress at age
20. At age 22 she was ordered by her prioress to begin writing her memories
and ideas, which material would turn into the book History of a Soul.
Defined her path to God and holiness as The Little Way, which consisted of
child-like love and trust in God. She had an on-going correspondence with
Carmelite missionaries in China, often stating how much she wanted to come
work with them. Many miracles attributed to her. Declared a Doctor of the
Church in 1997 by Pope John Paul II.
