About Menina Izildinha

Maria Izilda de Castro Ribeiro, popularly known as Menina Izildinha, Angel of the Lord or Saint Izildinha, is an unofficial popular child saint to whom Brazilian Catholics have attributed inexplicable miracles, cures and healings. The intact body stunned the local villagers, believing it to be a miracle of sorts and Izilda to be a popular saint, referring to her as Menina Izildinha, the "Angel of the Lord". The Sanctuary of Menina Izildinha (Portuguese: Santuario Menina Izildinha) located in Monte Alto, has become a center of faith and praise among the city inhabitants.
