Born Chiara Offreduccio, July 16, 1194, Saint Clare was beautiful, rich, and had a number of suitors. On the night of Palm Sunday, Clare left her palace home, wearing her finest clothes. She met Saint Francis of Assisi, who gave her the veil of religious profession. She founded the Order of Poor Ladies of San Damiano and wrote their rule of life, which strictly adhered to Franciscan rules. After her death, the order was renamed in her honor, The Order of Saint Clare; also known as the Poor Clares.
