'''Saint Bruno of Cologne''' (born c. 1030, died 6 October 1101) was a [[Saints|German saint]], priest, and monk, revered as the founder of the Carthusian Order. Born in Cologne, Germany, to a noble family, possibly named Hartenfaust, he was educated in Reims, France, and became a canon and later rector of the cathedral school there. Rejecting worldly ambition, he embraced a life of solitude and founded the Carthusian monastery at La Grande Chartreuse in 1084, emphasizing contemplative prayer and asceticism. Never formally canonized, his sainthood was recognized by popular acclaim and Church tradition in 1514, later confirmed by Pope Gregory XV in 1623 for the Carthusians. His relics are venerated at La Grande Chartreuse, and he is honored in the [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] traditions.<ref name="web1">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_of_Cologne</ref><ref name="web2">https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=579</ref><ref name="web3">https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03077a.htm</ref> | |||
