Happy Feast of St. Scholastica (Feb. 10), the Twin Sister of our Holy Father, St. Benedict

Statue of St. Scholastica in the Archabbey Basilica


Notice the Relic of St. Scholastica at the foot of the Statue!


This Stain glass window in the Basilica depicts the last meeting between St. Benedict and his Twin Sister.  St. Gregory tells us that it was Scholastica who had the greater Love.  To learn more about this encounter, follow this link:
