This St. Benedict Wall Crucifix is maid out of olive wood inlaid in a sturdy exterior chrome-like metal frame. 8" long, it comes with an "O" ring at the top for ease in hanging on the wall. This crucifix comes in a cardboard gift box, along with a leaflet explaining the meaning of the Benedict Medal. The Benedict Cross and Medal are "a prayer of exorcism against Satan, a prayer for strength in time of temptation, a prayer for peace among ourselves and among the nations of the world, a prayer that the Cross of Christ be our light and guide, a prayer of firm rejection of all that is evil, a prayer of petition that we may, with Christian courage, 'walk in God's Ways, with the Gospel as our guide', as St. Benedict urges us." (Order of St. Benedict)
