St. Hildegard von Bingen

Honor St. Hildegard of Bingen, the great Benedictine abbess, mystic, composer, writer, healer, and Doctor of the Church. This richly detailed design surrounds her with symbols of her extraordinary life: the manuscript Scivias, the chant O Virtus Sapientiae, healing herbs, musical notation, and the Benedictine motto Ora et Labora — “Pray and work.” Above her, the moon, sun, and radiant eye evoke the heavenly visions for which she became famous, pointing to divine wisdom, creation, and God’s living presence in all things — what Hildegard called viriditas. A thoughtful tribute to one of the Church’s most fascinating saints and a powerful witness to faith, wisdom, and holy creativity.
