St. Zdislava of Lemberk Larger Medallion Pendant Gold

Larger gold pendant of St. Zdislava of Lemberk a Czech noblewoman and the founder of monasteries and hospitals. Her father was Pribyslav from Krizanov in Moravia and her mother was Sibyl, originally from Sicily, who came to the Czech lands with Kunhuta Stauf, the bride of King Wenceslas I. Saint Zdislava is the patroness of families, the congregation of Dominican sisters, the diocese of Litomerice and the entire Czech nation. Zdislava was probably a strong and energetic woman. Her name is associated with the Dominican monasteries in Turnov and Jablonne v Podjestedi, here also with the hospital. Which she, despite her noble position, personally visited and took care of the sick. She died prematurely at about 33 years of age. She was buried in the church of holy Lawrence in Jablonne, which construction began. Unfortunately, she could not see the completion of its construction. In 1907 she was declared blessed and in 1995 she was proclaimed by Pope John Paul II. for the saint.
Saint Zdislava of Lemberk is commemorated on May 30.
