In the Carmelite calendar this day is celebrated in honor of the Discalced Carmelite Third Order member, Blessed Josepha Naval Girbés. From the note in the Carmelite breviary: "Josepha Naval Girbés was born at Algemesí in the Archdiocese of Valencia, Spain, on December 11, 1820. As a very young woman she consecrated herself to the Lord by a perpetual vow of chastity, made progress along the way of prayer and evangelical perfection while dedicating herself generously to apostolic works in her parish community. In her own home she opened a school where she taught needlework, prayer, and the evangelical virtues. She formed many young girls and women and shared with them her wisdom and spiritual understanding. She was a member of the Third Order Secular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St. Teresa of Jesus and had a special love for the Virgin Mother of God. Her holy death took place in February 24, 1893. She is buried in the parish church of St. James in her native city."
