The monastery of San Lorenzo, from which Mother Maddalena came, was given to the Poor Clares shortly after the death of the Seraphic S. Francis. Mother Maddalena writes in her Memoirs:
Here also, in a hospice attached to the monastery, S. Bridget of Sweden, a member of the Third Order of S. Francis, having contracted a fever upon her return from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, breathed her last, upon the 23rd day of July, in 1372. Her body was buried in the Church of San Lorenzo. When she was canonized by Pope Boniface IX, her daughter, Queen Catherine of Sweden, reclaimed her body, leaving to the Monastery the relic of her shoulder and right arm with which she had written the famous revelations.
