Mattia Ciccarelli (24 February 1481 – 18 January 1543), in religious Cristina, was an Italian nun from the Order of Saint Augustine noted for her ecstasies and the reception of the stigmata.
In 1492 she was placed under the spiritual direction of the Franciscan priest Vincenzo dell'Aquila and took his advice on joining the Order of Saint Augustine.
[4] Ciccarelli entered the convent of Santa Lucia in Aquileia in June 1505 and assumed both the habit the religious name Cristina.
On one occasion - on the Feast of Corpus Christi - she was seen to have levitated and the image of the Eucharist as a host appeared and radiated from her upper chest.
[3] The confirmation of Ciccarelli's longstanding popular devotion allowed for Pope Gregory XVI to approve her beatification on 15 January 1841.
