Carissima of Albi

Carissima of Albi was born at Albi in Gaul in the fifth century. She lived as an anchoress in a forest near the city, and then at the convent of Viants (Vious). She is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

Her commemoration falls on 7 September (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 20 September of the civil calendar. We have no further details of her life.
