Saint Mariam Baouardy, known in religious life as Mary of Jesus Crucified, was a Palestinian Carmelite nun of the Melkite Greek Catholic tradition. Orphaned at a young age, she endured poverty and hardship while remaining faithful to Christ and deeply devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
She entered the Carmel and lived with profound humility, prayer, and love for the Church. She helped establish the Carmelite monastery in Bethlehem and offered her sufferings for the unity and peace of the Church. Pope Francis canonized her in 2015.
