I have a ''Saints'' prodject due and i chose St.Jessica because Jessica is my name and her feast day is the month of my Birthday also i know that she was one of the 3 women who found Jesus's tomb, so would you consider that a ''big deal''??
Also i'm looking for some kind of painting of her, if you see one thanx that really is lots of help and that would be great. But if you cant find one or if there was never any painting of her then you can just try to describe how you think she probably look.

The name Jessica seems to have been coined by Shakespeare, from a mistranslated Hebrew name, Iscah.
The Catholic St Joanna (from which "Jessica" may also be derived) may be apocryphal, as many early saints are.

According to the Bible there was no one named "Jessica" at Jesus' tomb.
Matt 28:1
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
Luke 24:
9When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.
Mark 16:
1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. 2Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"
John 20:
1Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"

I've never heard of St. Jessica. The women who went to Jesus' tomb were mostly named Mary.
