Saint Margaret of Castello was born of a noble family at the end of the 13th century in a small town in central Italy. She was born blind, crippled, and lame - among other disabilities. Her first years were spent locked in a cell next to the Church because her parents were so ashamed of her. Eventually , she was brought to the town of Città of Castello where her parents were hoping that she would miraculously regain her eyesight. But that didn't happen and they heartlessly abandoned her on the streets.—Daniela Gurrieri
