Josephine Margaret Bakhita, F.D.C.C., (ca. 1869- 8th of February 1947) was a Sudanese-born former slave who became a Canossian Religious Sister in Italy, living and working there for 45 years. In 2000 she was declared a saint by the Catholic Church. ==Early Life==
She was born around the year 1869 in the western Sudanese region of Darfur; in the village of Olgossa, west of Nyala and close to Mount Agilerei.〔Dagnino, p.10. The map of Sudan here shows the village of ''Olgossa'' (''Algozney'' in the Daju tongue) ''slightly west'' of the 3,042 m (9,980 feet) ''Jebel Marrah'' and of the 785 m ''Jebel Agilerei''. ''Though on p. 37'' she seems to place Olgossa about 40 km north-''east'' of Nyala.〕 She belonged to the prestigious Daju people;〔〔Dagnino, pp. 23-25.〕 her well respected and reasonably prosperous father was brother of the village chief. She was surrounded by a loving family of three brothers and three sisters; as she says in her autobiography: "I lived a very happy and carefree life, without knowing what suffering".〔Bakhita in Dagnino, p. 37〕 Sometime between the age of seven to nine, probably in February 1877, she was kidnapped by Arab slave traders, who already had kidnapped her elder sister two years earlier. She was cruelly forced to walk barefoot about to El Obeid and was already sold and bought twice before she arrived there. Over the course of twelve years (1877–1889) she was resold again three more times and then given away. It is said that the trauma of her abduction caused her to forget her own name; she took one given to her by the slavers, ''bakhita'', Arabic for ''lucky''.〔O'Malley, p. 32.〕〔Dagnino, pp. 29-32. ''Every'' slave was ''always'' given a new name. Bakhita herself never mentions this incident.〕 She was also forcibly converted to Islam.〔Hutchison, p. 7〕
