$31.95
The origin of the
medal of St. Benedict is very ancient. It was certainly suggested by
the efficacious use that the patriarch made of the sign of the cross
against the assaults of the Demon narrated by St. Gregorio. Benedict
XIV established the design of this medal. One side it carries the
image of St. Benedict holding a cross in his hand and on other side
there is a larger cross with Latin initials. Due to the fact that the
cross represented here is an essential element of this medal, it is
called the Medal-Crucifix of St. Benedict. On the back there is the
effigy of the Saint, holding the cross in his right hand the Rules in
his left hand: on his right there is a cup from which a serpent is
escaping (recollection of the polsonde win from which he miraculously
escaped); on the left we have a crow talding away the poisoned bread. Underneath we can read the words: “EX S.M. CASINO
MIDCCCLXXX” from the Holy Mount Cassino 1880). On the two sides:
“CRUX SANCTI PATRIS BENEDICT” (Cross of Holy Father Benedict).
Around the image: “EIUS IN OBITU NOSTRO PRESENTIA MUNIAMUR” (He
defends us in our death with his presence). On the front of the
Medal, a cross is represented which carries several inscription in
the arms, the explanation of which Follows:
