Description
-
This memoir written by Catherine's daughter recounts Catherine's difficult childhood as she was raised by a conservative Catholic father and a pious (Protestant) mother. Both had to hide their faith and their spiritual longings. Catherine ran away from home in 1725 and moved to Herrnhut where her mother eventually joined her. She and her first husband were called to Georgia where she played an active role in the mission to the Indians. After meeting with Count Zinzendorf, she moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where she married for a third time. She became a widow again and spent the rest of her life between Nazareth and Bethlehem, faithfully answering the communities' calls. Written in German calligraphy.
