In 1373, when she was thirty years old and a recluse at St Julian's Church, Norwich, Julian received a series of sixteen visions. Pondering in prayer their meaning for twenty years, she came to realise their full significance. These visions are recorded in her book REVELATIONS OF DIVINE LOVE.
The greatest of the female mystics and a spiritual guide for today, Julian additionally holds the distinction of being the first woman to write a book in the English language.
