Madre Cecilia del Nacimiento (OCD) (née, Cecilia Sobrino Morillas; 1570–1646) was a Spanish nun, mystic, writer, and poet influenced by the Carmelites, of which she became prioress. A Discalced Carmelite and abbess, her work is written in verse and prose and, mainly, it is a mystical production, based on her spiritual experiences. Her production included Romance (poesía) (romantic poetry), a type of poem characteristic of the Spanish, Iberian, and Latin American literary tradition, glosses, Christmas carols, redondilla, limericks, and theatrical work within the convent.[1] Both Cecilia and her older sister, Madre María Sobrino Morillas (religious name, María de San Alberto), copyists and archivists of manuscripts in their convent.[2]
