About the St. Benedict Medal
One of the most powerful sacramentals in the Catholic Church, the St. Benedict medal has been used for centuries as a defense against evil, temptation, and spiritual attack. The reverse of this crucifix features the letters of the exorcism prayer: “Vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana! Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas!” — Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 1¾" × 1" measurement include?
The pendant measures 1¾" in height by 1" in width, including the loop above the crucifix. This is the full dimension as worn on a chain.
What is the difference between sterling silver, gold-filled, and 14K solid gold?
Sterling silver (92.5% silver) offers classic value and a bright finish. 14KT gold-filled has a thick layer of 14K gold bonded to a base metal — it looks and wears like solid gold at a fraction of the price. 14K solid gold is a heirloom-quality choice with the highest intrinsic value and durability.
Can this crucifix be blessed by a priest?
Yes. Many Catholics ask a priest to bless sacramentals such as crucifixes and medals. This pendant is well-suited for blessing and devotional use.
Is this a good Confirmation or Father’s Day gift?
Absolutely. The St. Benedict crucifix is one of the most meaningful gifts for a man of faith — combining the crucifix and the Church’s most recognized protective sacramental. It arrives with your choice of chain and is suitable for daily wear.
What chain length should I choose?
A 20–24" chain typically falls at mid-chest on most men; a 27" chain sits lower. For a pendant of this size, a heavy curb chain (2.9mm) provides the right visual weight. See our necklace length guide for more help.
Is this pendant made in the USA?
Yes. This crucifix is made in the USA by Bliss Manufacturing, a fourth-generation family jewelry company that has been crafting fine religious jewelry since 1900. It is backed by a lifetime manufacturer warranty.
