NEW HAND CARVED WOODEN NUN PATRON SAINT HILDEGARD OF BINGEN STATUE SCULPTURE Polychrome finish, painted and 24 carat gold plated by hand. Reflecting personally on the saint: Saint Hildegard of Bingen was a remarkable and multifaceted woman of the 12th century. Born in 1098 in Bermersheim, Germany, Hildegard was entrusted to a Benedictine monastery at the age of eight. She later became an abbess and founded two monasteries. Hildegard is renowned for her wide-ranging contributions to various fields, including music, medicine, poetry, and theology. She was a visionary mystic who experienced and recorded detailed visions of spiritual and religious themes from a very young age. Her major theological works include "Scivias" (Know the Ways), "Liber Vitae Meritorum" (Book of Life’s Merits), and "Liber Divinorum Operum" (Book of Divine Works), which delve into her visions and her understanding of humanity's relationship with the divine. Besides her theological and mystical writings, Hildegard was also a prolific composer and is one of the best-documented composers from the Medieval period. Her compositions, which include songs and a musical drama, are noted for their distinctive and expressive quality, showcasing her deep understanding of music as a spiritual medium. Hildegard was also ahead of her time in the fields of natural science and medicine, compiling works on herbal medicine and the natural world which reflected her deep observation and belief in the connection between living beings and God. Saint Hildegard was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012, and she was declared a Doctor of the Church, recognizing her significant contribution to Christian theology. Her feast day is celebrated on September 17th. Hildegard of Bingen remains a powerful figure in both religious and secular contexts, celebrated for her spiritual insights and her intellectual achievements.
