The ecstasy of Saint Rosalia of Palermo by Theodoor Boeyermans. Rosalia was proposed as the patron saint of evolutionary studies in a paper by G.E. Hutchinson. [13] This was due to a visit he paid to a pool of water downstream from the cave where St. Rosalia's remains were found, where he developed ideas based on observations of water boatmen. [14]
The Church of St. Rosalia (Italian: Chiesa Cattolica Italiana Romana di St. Rosalia) was a parish church in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The parish was founded to serve the needs of Italian Catholics in the area by the then- Bishop of Brooklyn , Charles McDonnell , in 1902.
In 1624 the construction sanctuary at this site was patronized by the senate of Palermo and the cardinal archbishop Giannetino Doria. Since the 12th-century and linked to Rosalia, there appears to have been prior chapels or churches at this mountain which appears to have been a locus attracting religious hermits, much like Rosalia herself.
