Rosalie meaning

Rosalia was popularized in honor of a 12th-century Sicilian saint; a young nobleman of Norman descent during a period in Italian history when the Normans conquered much of southern Italy and Sicily (11th to 12th centuries). In fact, Santa Rosalia is the patron saint of Palermo, Sicily. And here's why. Staunchly religious, Rosalía abandoned the accoutrements of her highborn life and retired to a cave on Mount Pellegrino to live her life as a hermit; she would die there alone around the age of 30. There, on the walls of the cave she had engraved the words: "I, Rosalía... have resolved to live in this cave for the love of my Lord, Jesus Christ." Nearly 450 years after her death a terrible plague spread through Palermo and Santa Rosalía appeared before a hunter and told him where to find her relics in the cave. She instructed him to take her remains back to Palermo, where a procession was organized in her honor. Apparently, after that, the plague subsided. That is why Palermo owes many thanks to La Santuzza (“Little Saint”) as Rosalía is often called. The Germans and the French adopted this pious and holy name after the Middle Ages as Rosalie, but the English would not embrace it until the 19th century. Today Rosalie is more popular in the Netherlands. She instructed him to take her remains back to Palermo, where a procession was organized in her honor. Apparently, after that, the plague subsided.
