Seller's Description
25 x 18mm Pendant
Double Sided
Inscribed
Translation Below.
There is indeed no medal that possesses such wonderful power and none so
highly esteemed by the Holy Church as the Medal of St. Benedict.
It is said whosoever wears this medal with devotion,
trusting to the life-giving power of the Holy Cross and the merits of the holy Father
St. Benedict, may expect the powerful protection of this great patriarch in his spiritual and temporal needs.
The medal is one of the oldest and most honored medals used by Catholics.
However the Medal Pendant hold many over its stunning portrait and wearers feel blessed to be chosen to wear it.
On the front of the medal is saint benedict holding a cross in his right hand, the object of his devotion,
And in the left his rule for monasteries.
In the back is a poisoned cup, in reference to the legend of benedict,
Which explains that hostile monks attempted to poison him:
The cup containing poisoned wine shattered when the saint made the sign of the cross over it
(and a raven carried away a poisoned loaf of bread).
Above the cup are the words crux sancti patris benedicti ("The cross of [our] holy father benedict").
Surrounding the figure of saint benedict are the words eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur!
("May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death"),
Since he was always regarded by the benedictines as the patron of a happy death.
On the back is a cross, containing the letters c s s m l - n d s m d,
Initials of the words crux sacra sit mihi lux! Non [nunquam?]
Draco sit mihi dux! ("May the holy cross be my light! May the dragon never be my overlord!").
The large c s p b stand for crux sancti patris benedicti ("The cross of [our] holy father benedict").
Surrounding the back of the medal are the letters
V r s n s m v - s m q l I v b,
In reference to vade retro satana: 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!")
And finally, located at the top is the word pax which means "Peace".
The belief in its power against evil is also known as the “devil-chasing medal.”
As early as the 11th century, it may have initially had the form of Saint Benedict’s cross,
and was used by pope Leo IX. The reverse side of the medal carries the Vade retro satana (“Step back, Satan”) formula,
which has been used by Catholics to ward off evil since the 15th century.
Sometimes carried as part of the rosary, it is also found individually.
In widespread use after its formal approval by Pope Benedict XIV in the 18th century,
the medal is used by Catholics to ward off spiritual and physical dangers,
especially those related to evil, poison, and temptation.
