About Ángela Ginard Martí

  • Blessed Ángela Ginard Martí (3 April 1894 – 26 August 1936) – in religious Maria de los Ángeles – was a Spanish Roman Catholic professed religious from the Zelatrices of the Eucharistic Devotion.
  • Ginard took care of her siblings growing up and did embroidering to support them alongside two older sisters.
  • But the experience at her First Communion and the example of her two nun aunts caused her to think about entering the religious life as a nun.
  • Ginard entered a religious order in 1921 having her parents give their assent (her parents once refused this request in 1914) and she set about tasks such as embroidering cloth for the altar and preparing bread for hosts.Ginard was killed during the onslaught of the Spanish Civil War a month after having gone into hiding when the conflict broke out.
  • Her remains were discovered a short while later for burial.The beatification for the slain nun was initiated in the 1980s and culminated in 2005 after she was beatified in Saint Peter's Basilica.
