Re: [lace] Lacemaking saint?
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.

Re: [lace] Lacemaking saint?
Try this link: http://www.sttherese.com/Parents.html 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 was flabbergasted by this site about point d'alencon http://www.honfleur-magazine.fr/info-villes/actualite-regionale/30-06-2008/orne-la-dentelle-du-grand-art-et-toute-une-maitrise.html, which says, among other things, that a square centimeter of lace represented eight hours of work!

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.

Re: [lace] Lacemaking saint?
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?

[lace] Lacemaking saint?
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?

RE: [lace] Lacemaking saint?
From the Patron Saints Index: Saint Therese of Lisieux Also known as Francoise-Marie Therese Martin Teresa of the Infant Jesus the Little Flower of Jesus the Little Flower Therese of the Child Jesus Memorial 1 October Profile Born to a pious middle-class French family of tradesmen; daughter of Blessed Louis Martin and Blessed Marie-Azelie Guérin Martin, and all four of her 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.
