Marie-Céline de la Présentation, born Jeanne-Germaine Castang, was a French Poor Clare nun who lived from 1878 to 1897. After suffering from polio in her childhood, which left her with a permanent limp, she faced significant family hardships and poverty. Despite being initially rejected by another order due to her physical disabilities, she was eventually admitted to the Poor Clares in Talence. She lived a contemplative life characterized by patience through illness, eventually making her final vows while dying of tuberculosis.
