Macrina

Monastic and Teacher, 379

Macrina (340-379) was a monastic, theologian and teacher. She founded one of the earliest Christian communities in the Cappadocian city of Pontus. Macrina left no writings; we know of her through the works of her brother St. Gregory of Nyssa (page 266). In his Life of St. Macrina, Gregory describes her as both beautiful and brilliant, an authoritative spiritual teacher.
