Feast day In 1670, the year after de' Pazzi's canonization, the feast day of the saint was inserted in the General Roman Calendar for celebration on May 25, the day of her death. In 1728, the date of May 25 was assigned instead to Pope Gregory VII, and her feast day was moved to May 29, where it remained until 1969, when it was restored to its original place in the calendar, as the true anniversary of her death. Mortification Pazzi was known to have worn little clothing and to have whipped herself with a crown of thorns. According to researcher Ian Wilson, sometimes she would wear only a single garment but she would tear this off "in order to roll herself on thorns, or give herself another savage beating". Wilson described Pazzi as a "florid, sadomasochistic neurotic". Asti Hustvedt has written that "Pazzi wore a crown of thorns and a corset onto which she had attached piercing nails. She also walked barefoot through the snow, dripped hot wax onto her body, and licked the wounds of the diseased, including those afflicted with leprosy." The anthropologist Eric Dingwall wrote a chapter on Pazzi's alleged masochism and flagellant behaviors in Very Peculiar People (1962). Psychiatrist Armando Favazza in Bodies under Siege (3rd edition, 2011) wrote: Psychiatrist Kathryn J. Zerbe has written that Pazzi was a sufferer of anorexia mirabilis. She also displayed behavioral symptoms of bulimia. See also Carmelite Rule of St. Albert Book of the First Monks References Further reading Copeland, Clare.
