Scholastica, † c. 543 at Monte Cassino; twin sister of St. Benedict; eventually interred in the same grave with her brother; most of what we know of Scholastica comes from the Dialogues of St. Gregory the Great (3 Sept.), who wrote, "so death did not separate the bodies of these two, whose minds had ever been united in the Lord"; invoked against storms; patroness of Benedictine nunneries.
