Christian feast day: Fina

Fina (Serafina) (1238–1253) was an Italian Christian virgin who is especially venerated in the Tuscan town of San Gimignano. She developed a paralytic illness and spent the rest of her life on a bed made from a wooden pallet, where, according to legends, Saint Gregory the Great appeared to her to predict her death.

March 12 is the 71st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar; 294 days remain until the end of the year.
