I love this! 🎶
Three-time Grammy award-winning singer Gwen Stefani published a photo of Saint Cecilia on Saint Cecilia's November 22 feast day to her almost 18 million Instagram followers.
The image, which appears to be from a holy card, says "Sancta Caecilia," which is Latin for "Saint Cecilia."
Saint Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians.
Stefani, who is also a coach on NBC's reality singing competition television series, "The Voice," posted the image to her Instagram story. She did not comment but merely published a photo of the card.
Here's a screenshot of Gwen Stefani's Instagram story below:
Gwen Stefani's Catholic Faith
Stefani, a founding member and lead singer of the rock group, "No Doubt," occasionally speaks publicly about her Catholic faith.
Stefani recently agreed to release an original Christmas song to the #1 Catholic prayer App, Hallow, for the Advent Pray25 Prayer Challenge.
In October 2023, Stefani commented on ChurchPOP's Instagram reel covering Napa Institute's annual Eucharistic procession in New York City.
"Beautiful and brave," the singer wrote.
In December 2019, US Weekly reported that Stefani and then-fiancé country singer Blake Shelton "were willing to wait" for Stefani's annulment from the Catholic Church for her previous marriage before marrying.
The report said they wanted "God on their side” before marrying and that “Gwen and Blake met with her priest for a counseling session.”
“Gwen’s religion has always been extremely important to her, and Blake is completely supportive of this,” the report said. “They’re willing to wait.”
The Catholic Church granted Stefani's annulment in 2021. However, it is unclear if she received a sacramental blessing for her July 2021 marriage to Blake Shelton, which occurred in a chapel built on Shelton's Oklahoma property. A Catholic priest did not officiate.
Regardless of the situation, let us pray for her and all celebrities.
