Summary

This week we discuss Leonarda Cianciulli, whose tragic childhood caused her to seek solace in superstition and rituals. In order to spare the life of her favorite child, she began sacrificing people, then making them into soap and tea cakes which she ate with her son and other people in the neighborhood.
