Product Details

The Vintage Bronze Hooded St. Benedict Medal carries the saint in profile, his head deeply hooded, with a shield behind him and at his shoulder the broken cup and its small serpent, the poisoned drink that shattered when he blessed it.

The legend around the rim reads BENEDICTUS MONACHORUM PATRIARCHA, Benedict, patriarch of monks, with PAX, peace, the Benedictine motto, set at the foot. The reverse is the Benedictine cross, its quarters lettered C S S M L and N D S M D within a ring of further initials. They abbreviate the old Latin prayer of protection: may the holy Cross be my light, may the dragon never be my guide, begone Satan, never tempt me with your vanities. The medal has been worn for that protection for centuries, and the lettering on this casting is unusually crisp.

The St. Benedict medal was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves the medal's vintage character.

  • Made in the USA
  • Artisan-cast from an antique original
  • Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
  • Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
  • Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
  • Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
