Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

French abbot and monastic reformer, canonized in 1174 (Fontaines Castle, Dijon, 1091 - Clairvaux, 1153). Coming from a noble family, he followed his religious vocation from a very young age. He entered the Cistercian abbey of Cîteaux in 1112 and soon after, in 1115, became head of the new monastery of Clairvaux.
