Saint Stephen Harding, born around 1050–1060 in Sherborne, England, was a key figure in founding the Cistercian Order, a reform movement emphasizing monastic austerity. After the Norman Conquest disrupted his early life at Sherborne Abbey, he roamed to Scotland, Paris, and eventually Molesme Abbey in Burgundy. In 1098, seeking stricter observance, he co-established Cîteaux Abbey with Robert of Molesme and Alberic, becoming its abbot in 1108. His leadership saw Cîteaux flourish—boosted by Saint Bernard’s 1112 arrival—and he crafted the *Carta Caritatis*, the order’s enduring rule. Blind and frail, he died on March 28, 1134, at Cîteaux, his legacy cemented in Cistercian growth. | Saint Stephen Harding, born around 1050–1060 in Sherborne, England, was a key figure in founding the Cistercian Order, a reform movement emphasizing monastic austerity.
