Blessed’s Biography

Blessed Hosanna of Cattaro was born as Catherine Cosie on November 25, 1493, near the village of Komani in Montenegro. She came from a poor Orthodox family and baptized in that tradition. Hosanna was a shepherdess in her youth, spending her solitary hours in prayer, and began to have visions of the Christ child. Hosanna told her mother but told her that God did not appear such poor people. Catherine Cosie felt a call to live the hard, spiritual life of an anchoress. Though she was young for such a calling, her spiritual director had her a walled up cell built near Saint Bartholomew’s church in Cattaro. 

In her tiny cell, Hosanna received many visions including the Christ as a baby, Our Lady, several saints, and demons who opposed her prayer life. The devil appeared once in the guise of Mary; She knew it was the devil when the vision tried to get her to give up the religious life. When the city was attacked by the Turks, the town’s people credited their deliverance to her prayers. 

Death

She died April 27, 1565, in Kotor, Montenegro of natural causes and her buried in the Church of Saint Paul, Kotor, Montenegro. Her remains moved to the Church of Saint Mary in Kotor, Montenegro in 1807 after the French army turned the Church of Saint Paul into a warehouse.
