Page of Swords

Designer : Rafael Cervantes

Artist: Peter Lupori

At commencement each year, St. Catherine University graduates are given a medal featuring this image created by Peter Lupori.  This painting represents St. Catherine of Alexandria standing before the broken wheel on which she was tortured.  Despite her suffering, St. Catherine's face remains serene, her eyes looking to the future.  St Catherine, like the Page of Swords, remains optimistic, enduring and strong.  She holds her sword softly in one hand, a book in the other, valuing knowledge paired with action.
