Saints celebrated on the 6th of November
BLESSED GARSENDA, TUTOR OF ST ELZEAR
Blessed Garsenda, tutor of St Eleazar (Elzear) of Sabran, in his infancy instilled in him those sentiments of piety that made him a saint.
She died at Ansois in the fourteenth century, and was buried at Apte in the Franciscan church, where she is called a "blessed." According to Sintzel*, she died on November 6, 1320. Some other writers, too, mention her on that day. (mg)
