Saint Scholastica Twin Sister of Saint Benedict Classic Round Sticker

A serene and spiritually rich portrayal of Saint Scholastica (c.480–543), the consecrated virgin of Nursia and the sister—traditionally the twin sister—of Saint Benedict of Nursia, founder of Western monasticism. According to Wikipedia, she was born around 480 in Nursia and is honored as the foundress of Benedictine nuns. Vatican News recounts that Scholastica dedicated herself to God from early childhood and lived a life of contemplation near her brother’s monastic community. Gregory the Great’s Dialogues preserve the most famous episode of her life: during her final meeting with Benedict, she prayed for their conversation to continue, and a sudden miraculous storm prevented him from leaving — a sign, Gregory writes, that “she who loved more, obtained more.” Catholic News Agency notes that she died shortly after this encounter, on 10 February 543, and Benedict saw her soul ascend to heaven in the form of a dove, now one of her principal iconographic symbols. Her feast is celebrated on 10 February, and she is venerated in the Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican traditions. Ideal for sacred art prints, monastic heritage themes, educational materials, and devotional designs.
