Saint Caesaria the Younger

Saint Caesaria the Younger was a nun and abbess associated with the women’s monastery founded at Arles under the guidance of Caesarius of Arles. She succeeded her sister, Caesaria the Elder, as abbess and helped preserve a disciplined form of communal religious life for women. A surviving letter connected with her name exhorts women religious to fidelity and spiritual seriousness. The details of her life are sparse, so a biography should avoid claims beyond the limited evidence.
