Saint Scholastica Italian religious, twin sister of Benedict of Nursia, the patron saint of the order of Benedictine nuns. She and her brother usually had one day of meeting every year, in a house located halfway between their two monasteries. The last meeting shortly before her death, at the time to separate saint Scholastica asked to her brother to prolong the interview. Suddenly burst into a violent storm that prevented the groups to return to their monasteries and Benedict acknowledged the event a miracle, agreeing to extend the conversation with his sister until the next morning. The day after they returned to their headquarters, and three days after she died. Venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and the Anglican Church, it is invoked to protect against lightning and bad weather, and to get good rain for crops.
