Cissa

Saint Cissa was a disciple of Saint Guthlac at Crowland in England in the early eighth century, and according to the abbey chronicle succeeded him as abbot. He is mentioned in Felix's Life of Guthlac. His tomb was next to Guthlac's but, like it, was destroyed by the Scandinavians, and his relics were carried in the tenth century to Thorney Abbey. He is commemorated on 23 September, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
