Saint Macrina the Younger (c.330 19 July 379) was born at Caesarea, Cappadocia. Her parents were Basil the
Elder and
Emmelia, and her grandmother was Saint Macrina the Elder. Among her nine siblings were two of the three
Cappadocian
Fathers, her younger brothers Basil the Great and Saint Gregory of Nyssa, as well as Peter of Sebaste. Her
father arranged
for her to marry but her fiance died before the wedding. She devoted herself to her religion, becoming a nun.
She became well known as a holy woman and instructed many young women religiously. For this she is honored
as one of
the most prominent nuns of the Eastern Church. She had a profound influence upon her brothers with her
adherence to an
ascetic ideal. Her brother Gregory of Nyssa wrote a work entitled Life of Macrina in which he describes her
sanctity
throughout her life. In 379, Macrina died at her family's estate in Pontus, which with the help of her younger
brother
Peter she had turned into a monastery and convent. Gregory of Nyssa composed a "Dialogue on the Soul and
Resurrection"
(peri psyches kai anastaseos), entitled ta Makrinia (P.G. XLVI, 12 sq.), to commemorate Macrina.
Her feast day is the 19 July.
