About the SAINT BENEDICT
In 1964, Pope Paul VI declared St. Benedict the main patron saint of Europe during the rededication of Monte Cassino monastery. St. Benedict, though not originally intending to preserve knowledge, inadvertently inspired the establishment of monasteries that became important centers for learning and manuscript preservation. These monastic communities played a key role in preserving Christian culture and knowledge in medieval Europe for over six centuries.
