Mystics: Saint Clare the Mighty Abbess in the Shadows
Episode five in the Mystics series is about a saint who was devoted to Saint Francis’ rule to live in absolute poverty. She defied her aristocratic family, powerful
bishops, and several popes to do just this. This saint is the first female founder of a monastic order. She was a celebrity in life and played a role in
defining 13th-century European politics – all while confined within the walls of a monastery. She’s also the patron saint of television. This is the story of Saint Clare the Mighty Abbess in the Shadows.
