Kateria - Native American Saint, The Life & Miracles of Kateri Tekakwitha (Innbundet (stive permer))

This book takes the reader into the world of 17th Century Native Americans and Catholic missionaries. Kateri Tekakwitha (1656-1680), The Lily of the Mohawks, was a Native American woman born near the Canadian border in present-day Auriesville, New York. She was Beatified by Pope John Paul II on 22 June 1980 and, when canonised, will be the first Native American woman to achieve Saintly status. This book is beautifully illustrated with 21 full-colour images from an altar screen that Giovanna was commissioned in 2005 to paint for the Church of St John the Baptist at Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo in New Mexico, the oldest Parish in the United States. These extraordinary paintings feature significant chapters from Kateri's early years, her life as a Christian, and miracles following her death at age 24. This book is a must-have collector's item.
