A popular legend tells that Clement of Alexandria, a prominent early Christian writer and scholar, came across the young Saint Clementine in the desert, where she was living as a hermit. Impressed by her piety and wisdom, Clement took the young girl under his wing and educated her. She went on to become a well-known and respected teacher and writer in her own right, and is sometimes referred to as Saint Clementine the Virgin. This legend is believed to have originated in the 12th century AD.
