Explanation

Sister Alphonsa became the first woman saint from India when she was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 12, 2008. She was a Syro-Malabar Catholic nun from Kerala who was known for her piety and suffering. The canonization ceremony took place at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City, making her the first Indian woman to achieve sainthood. The other options (Sister Rosy, Sister Alexander, Sister Marry) are fictional names not associated with Indian sainthood.
