St. Rita is the patron saint of lost or impossible causes. And also of baseball.
The thing stuck in her head is a thorn from the crown of thorns, which detached from the crown and stuck in her head when she joined the convent. You can see her here with the crown of thorns draped around one of her arms. More information about Rita can be found on the internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Rita
This statue is in Sint-Pieterskerk of Leuven, Belgium
