October 15, 2015: the Casa Santa Birgitta in Lugano is a simple guest house, run by 13 sisters of the Bridgettine Order. It is a life spent tidying rooms and reading the Bible during the communal lunch. The sisters of St. Bridget of Sweden wear a linen crown made up of three white stripes with five red dots which symbolize the five stigmata of Christ.
