Christina of Markyate
Christina of Markyate was born in Huntingdon, England, c. 1096-1098, and died around 1155. Christina was an anchoress and prioress from a wealthy Anglo-Saxon family that was trying to blend in with the Normans at that time. She was head of a community of nuns.
== Early Life ==
Originally named Theodora at birth, she was born into a wealthy merchant family.〔("Christina of Markyate", Diocese of Ely )〕 Her mother's name was Beatrix in an effort to appear more Norman, and her father's was Auti. Her mother told a story of "knowing" her daughter would be holy because of a dove flying into her sleeve and living there for seven days while she was pregnant.〔
As a young child, Theodora is said to have talked to Christ "as if he was a man whom she could see."〔 She befriended an older man named Sueno who became her first religious mentor. It is mentioned in her hagiography that Sueno once held an unholy life and that Christina's faith renewed his and they helped each other. As a teenager, Theodora visited St Alban's Abbey in Hertfordshire with her parents. The visit apparently instilled in her a deep faith and she was prompted to make a private vow of chastity.〔(Urquhart, Toni. "A book for Christina of Markyate" Florida State University Special Collections & Archives division )〕 She told Sueno, but no one else.
