Who they were

Born at Zarauz into the family of the Duke of the Infantado, Arteaga was a poet and historian who entered the Hieronymite nuns and led the monastery of Santa Paula in Seville.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

The monastery runs her cause, asks that favours received through the intercession of the Servant of God be reported to it, and the diocesan inquiry opened in the archdiocese of Seville on 28 May 2001 after the nihil obstat of 18 March 2000.

The cause

Cristina de la Cruz de Arteaga y Falguera is named a Servant of God; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Cristina de la Cruz de Arteaga y Falguera.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
