Beatrice of Nazareth was a 13th-century Flemish Cistercian nun, mystic, and writer born in Tienen. A member of a wealthy bourgeois family, she entered the religious life at a young age and eventually served as the first prioress of the Abbey of Our Lady of Nazareth. She is primarily remembered for her spiritual writings, particularly her treatise on the various stages of divine love. The Catholic Church recognizes her as Blessed, and she is commemorated on August 29.
