Joseph of Cupertino O.F.M. Conv. (Italian: Giuseppe da Copertino) (June 17 1603 – September 18 1663) was an Italian Conventual Franciscan friar who is honored as a Christian mystic and saint. He was said to have been remarkably unclever but prone to miraculous levitation and intense ecstatic visions that left him gaping.
