30th Brings Legate Lisieux Martin Papal Pope Sainte Therese Vatican 1925 Canonisation
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Papal Legate holds aloft a beautiful red rose, a symbol of deep devotion and love, as he stands before the crowd during the canonization ceremony of Therese Martin, better known as St. Therese of Lisieux, on September 30, 1925. The historic event took place in the grand Basilica of Lisieux, France, where Therese had spent her childhood and where her remains were interred. Born in 1873, Therese Martin was a young Carmelite nun from Lisieux who lived a simple and pious life, marked by her profound love for God and her unique spirituality. She is revered for her "Little Way" of spiritual childhood, which emphasizes the importance of living a hidden, humble, and childlike life in imitation of Jesus. Following her death at the young age of 24, Therese's reputation for holiness spread rapidly, and she was canonized just 27 years after her death, an unusually short time for the Catholic Church. The rose presented by the Pope during her canonization ceremony was a gesture of his deep admiration and respect for the new saint. The photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of Christianity, as the Church recognizes the sanctity of a young woman whose life and teachings continue to inspire millions around the world. The rose, a reminder of the love and devotion that motivated Therese throughout her life, adds a touch of beauty and grace to this significant moment in the life of the Church.
