Life
Saint Scholastica was the twin sister of Saint Benedict of Nursia and is considered the foundress of Benedictine nuns. Born around 480, she dedicated herself to God from an early age. The siblings would meet once a year for spiritual conversations. According to Gregory the Great, when Benedict wished to leave after their final meeting, Scholastica prayed and a great storm arose, keeping him there.
