Abstract
- The article focuses on the life and work of Macrina the Younger, a saint, monastic founder, miracle worker and philosopher. Gregory of Nyssa presented a 35-page narrative that accounts the life of the saint around 380-383 and it was entitled "The Life of Saint Macrina." Macrina was also instrumental in convincing her family to give up their extravagant lifestyle and to live the life of Christian asceticism.
