Hildegard

Who is Hildegard of Bingen?

A 12th-century German nun

Hildegard of Bengin was a German nun who lived in the 12th century. She wrote a strange book of prophecy called the Scivias, some treatises on herbalism, some treatises on music theory, and some of the most breathtakingly beautiful music in the history of the world.

To my knowledge, she has never been officially canonized by the Catholic church, but she does have a feast day (not being Catholic, I'm not entirely sure what that means), and is apparently quite venerated in some communities.
