January 2 - Foundation of the Abbey of the Dunes, in honor of the Blessed Virgin (Flanders, 1128)

Mary is the Full Light of Wisdom

“Heavenly wisdom built for Himself a house in Mary: for He so filled her mind that from the very fullness of her mind her flesh became fecund, and the Virgin by a singular grace brought forth that same Wisdom, covered with a garb of flesh, whom she had first conceived in her pure mind.” - Saint Bernard of Clairvaux [The Abbey of the Dunes, or "Ten Duinen", established in 1128 in Koksijde, as a daughter of the Cistercian abbey of Savigny, grew into one of the most prestigious Cistercian abbeys in medieval Europe. The abbey was directly reincorporated to Clairvaux by "adoption" in 1137/1138.]
