Description

Plastic doll is wearing a habit typical of the Felician Sisters. Mother Mary Angela Truszkowska founded the order in Warsaw, Poland in 1855. They follow the rule of the Third Order of Saint Francis under the patronage of Saint Felix of Cantalice. The doll is wearing a brown dress, brown scapular, white wimple, and black veil. A wood and metal crucifix hangs from a ribbon around her neck, and a rosary hangs from a cord around her waist.
