The St. Scholastica Oxidized Medal celebrates the pure and pious life of St. Scholastica of Umbria, Italy. The twin sister of another revered Catholic saint, St. Scholastica grew in love for the Lord with her brother, St. Benedict. Both siblings made a mark in the Catholic Church by leading their respective monastic communities of priests and nuns. Religious pictures of St. Scholastica usually depict the Catholic nun holding a book, crosier, or a crucifix.
One of her more popular images is a dove in hand, which commemorates the vision that St. Benedict experienced just days before his death. In this vision, St. Benedict saw the soul of his sister fly to the heavens as a white dove.
Made in Italy. Available in singles or discounted bulk packs of 25, 50, or 100.
