More guess work, speculation and *sacred tradition*?
How about posting some Scripture to support it, something solid, clear, and unambiguous?
The scripture only tells us of her life in the community of Apostles in Acts 1. I simply tried to put the “wilderness” into a plausible perspective; I do not claim to know for sure. The traditional account has her overseeing a community of young girls, which would make her a proto-abbess. Remember that a monastery was a natural way for a window to end her days, although the practice took off a couple of centuries later.
