BIOGRAPHY- this way

St Clare of Assisi was born on 16th of July 1194 and died in Assisi on the 11th august 1235. She was the oldest daughter Of Favorino Scifi.

Some of the miraculous things St Clare was able to do were simple things like olive oil jars being filled to the brim after she blessed them. Another one, a very heavy door came off of it's hinges and pounded down on top of her and when her nun friends rushed to help her they lifted he door off her prepared to see her crushed and instead all she said unharmed was it felt no more than a soft blanket.

St Clare was the Co-foundress of the order of poor ladies also known as the poor Clares. She was also the first Abbess of San Damiano.

The pope that canonized St Clare buried her under the high alter for further recognition. That same pope changed the name from the order of poor ladies to the order of St Clare in 1263.
