Biography
Lucía Caram was born in Tucumán, the fifth of seven siblings, to a family of Lebanese descent.[1] She was educated at a religious school.
During the dictatorship in Argentina from 1976 to 1983, Tucumán was punished by military repression, and she says that "it was then when [she] encountered people's suffering and the question of why there is violence. That was the first seed of [her] vocation."[2]
Lucía Caram has lived in Spain for 27 years and resides in the Convent of Santa Clara de Manresa in Barcelona, where she promotes interreligious dialogue.[3][4] She is the promoter of the Fundación Rosa Oriol, which serves 1,400 disadvantaged families.[5]
She sparked outrage and received death threats after saying that Mary, mother of Jesus was not a virgin.[6][7]
Television
She collaborates on the program Las mañanas de Cuatro. She also has a recipe show on the Spanish Cooking Channel, Sor Lucía.[8][9] This program is also broadcast for Latin America by El Gourmet.[10]
