Blessed Beatrice of Ornacieux’s Life History

Blessed Beatrice of Ornacieux was born around 1260 in Ornacieux, France. At the age of thirteen, in 1273, she entered the Carthusian order at the Charterhouse of Parménie, France.

In 1301, she, along with Luisa Alleman of Grésivaudan and Margherita di Sassenaye, was chosen to establish the monastery of Eymeu in the diocese of Valence, France.

She was renowned for her deep devotion to the Passion of Christ, dedicating herself to suffering on behalf of others and as a form of penance for the world.

It is said that she even drove a nail through her left hand as a means of empathizing with the sufferings of the Crucifixion.

Blessed Beatrice died on November 25 1303 at the monastery of Eymeu, Valence. Her remains were later re-interred in Parménie, France, and then moved to the Olivetan sanctuary there in 1901. Her relics are currently enshrined in the church of Rancurel.

She was beatified on April 15 1869 by Pope Pius XI and is remembered on the additional memorial days of November 27 in the diocese of Grenoble, France, and February 13 in the diocese of Valence, France.

In art, she is typically depicted as a nun holding a nail or with a nail piercing her hand.
