Who they were
Mary Annella Zervas, O.S.B. (born Anna Cordelia Zervas; April 7, 1900 – August 14, 1926) was an American Catholic religious sister who joined the Benedictines and died at 26 after a three-year battle with pityriasis rubra pilaris. Until the 1960s, Zervas's grave in St. Joseph, Minnesota, was considered a place of Christian pilgrimage, and it became one again around 2008.
