Who was Zdenka Cecília Schelingová?

Blessed Zdenka Cecília Schelingová, was a Slovak nun of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Holy Cross and a victim of communist persecution in the former Czechoslovakia.

She was born at Krivá na Orave. She was sentenced in 1952 to twelve years imprisonment for high treason in a fabricated case. She was tortured in prison, which took a great toll on her health.

As a result of her poor health, she was released early from prison in April 1955 but it was too late; she died in Trnava, aged 38, later that year as a result of the injuries she suffered.
