St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi – Mystic of Carmel and Bride of the Crucified

Step into the divine intensity of St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi, the young Carmelite mystic whose life burned with love for Christ. In this graceful portrait, she is shown standing in a peaceful convent garden, surrounded by soft white roses — symbols of purity and mystical union. Her hands are clasped over her heart, eyes lifted in ecstasy, as a golden halo radiates her sanctity beneath a sacred crucifix archway.

Draped in her brown Carmelite habit with a simple rope cincture and a golden cross at her waist, this artwork captures her mystical union with Christ and the profound silence of contemplative love.

Short Biography:

St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi (1566–1607) was a noble Florentine who entered the Carmelite monastery at age 16. Though cloistered, her interior life was vast: for five years, she experienced intense mystical ecstasies, visions of heaven and purgatory, and conversations with Christ. She wrote down her revelations under obedience, which became spiritual treasures for the Church.

She was known for her deep humility, strict penance, and passionate love for the Eucharist and the Cross. Her entire life was a hidden flame of reparation, intercession, and longing for the salvation of souls.

She was canonized in 1669 by Pope Clement IX and remains a towering example of contemplative fervor and mystical theology.
