Maria Teresa Goretti is a virgin Italian martyr of the Catholic Church and one of the youngest saints to be canonized. She was born into a peasant family. Her father died when she was nine and they shared a house with another family, Serenellis. Maria takes care of the household chores while her mother, brother and sister work in the fields. One afternoon, Alessandro, Serenelli's twenty-year-old son, took sexual steps with her. When she refused to obey him, he stabbed her fourteen times. She was taken to the hospital but forgave him.
