Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the St. Benedict medal?
The St. Benedict medal is one of the oldest and most widely used sacramentals in the Catholic Church, dating back to the 11th century. It bears the cross of St. Benedict, the letters C.S.P.B. (Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti — the Cross of the Holy Father Benedict), and the initials of the Vade Retro Satana prayer, invoking protection against evil and temptation. It is worn as a sign of trust in God’s protection through the intercession of St. Benedict.
What is the Prayer to St. Benedict for Protection?
The prayer on the included holy card asks St. Benedict to intercede for protection over the wearer, their loved ones, home, property, and workplace — that they may never be separated from Jesus, Mary, and the saints, and may be delivered from temptation, spiritual oppression, physical ills, and disease.
What occasions is this set appropriate for?
This crucifix and prayer card set makes a meaningful gift for Confirmation, housewarming, sympathy, illness recovery, or any occasion where spiritual protection and blessing are sought. It is also a popular choice for new homes, new beginnings, and times of personal difficulty.
Is this a crucifix or a medal?
This is a St. Benedict crucifix — a cross bearing the corpus of Christ — incorporating the St. Benedict medal design on the cross arms and reverse. It differs from a flat St. Benedict medal in that it is a three-dimensional crucifix pendant worn on a chain.
What is the size and material of the crucifix?
The crucifix is crafted of non-tarnishing pewter in a silver tone finish and arrives on a 24" silver tone chain. For precise dimensions, please refer to the product images or contact us directly.
