A limited St. Benedict Bejewelled Protection Medal presented in a Keychain with carry bag, cleaning cloth & Information/prayer Guide.

St. Benedict, in his lifetime, led many miracles using the power of the Holy Cross, including his heroic fight against temptation and miracullus escapes vs traps set to take his life. He was imbued by God to have power of Evil and the Devil with the Holy Cross as his instrument. The St. BENEDICT MEDAL (or Jubilee medal), first made in 1880, draws from this tradition. It was first made in the Abbey of Monte Cassino, an important monastery established by St. Benedict in the 6th century.

In the front of the medal you will see a chalice and a raven beside the saint. It says 'Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti'- the cross of St. Benedict. The back of the Medal contains many prayers, including CSSML - "The Holy Cross be my light." It is further decorated by recessed rhinestones that  reflect the light.
 
It is, in Catholic traditions, a very powerful medal for spiritual protection. Considered a SACRAMENTAL by the Catholic church, it is a medal that prepares the wearer to recieve the fruit of sacraments and sanctify the varied circumstances in our lives.

This version has a diameter of 3.5cm and the enture keychain us around 9cm in length. The sturdy and smooth keyring and chain is Stainless Steel while the medal is cast alloy.

We hope that this medal will bring you the protection of God through the intercession of St. Benedict wherever you may carry it. Thank you for viewing our product. God's  Blessings and Mercy to you, always.
