    Character and Appearance

    Festive attire: The Circumcision ceremony is an occasion for Sara to wear festive clothing carefully described by Maria Valtorta:
    "the mother, flourishing, brunette, tall, beautiful, entirely beautiful in her festive garments: a white linen dress like a rich shirt that falls in folds to the ankles, fitted at her rather strong sides by a multicolored shawl shaping powerful hips, falling with fringes to knee height at the back and remaining open in front after crossing at the waist under a filigree buckle. A light veil with branches of colored roses on a Havana background is fixed on the black braids like a small turban and then falls from the neck, with waves and folds on the shoulders and chest. A crown of small medals linked by rings secures it on the head. Earrings hang with heavy rings. The tunic is held tight by a silver necklace passing through the garment's eyelets. On her arms, heavy silver bracelets."[2]
