About Saint Augustine:
Saint Augustine was born on the 13 of November, 354 in North Africa. He, at first, was a man who lived by passive morals. When he converted to Christianity, that all changed. He became a man of religion. He wrote many books in Latin, and founded a monastery. He died in 430 A.D. of natural causes. St. Augutine's writings are considered to be among the greatest theological works of all time. We celebrate his feast day on August 28.

- Augustine lived almost entirely on vegetables.
- Augustine founded a religious order for women, but all females, even his sister, were excluded from his house and could see him only in the presence of others.
- A rich pagan man chose the young Augustine to be his protege, in hopes the bright young philosopher would help turn the rapidly Christianizing Roman empire back to paganism.
