    Description

    During his life, St. Benedict was known to work many miracles using the power of the Holy Cross. Among these included his heroic flight from temptations and miraculous escapes from traps set to kill him.

    Saint Benedict became known for his power over the Devil, with the Holy Cross as his efficacious instrument to make the Devil flee. The St. Benedict medal is based on this tradition.

    The medal as we commonly know it today (the Jubilee medal) was first made in 1880 to commemorate the fourteenth centenary anniversary of St. Benedict’s birth by the Archabbey of Monte Cassino, the most important monastery established by the Saint in the 6th century.

    • Obverse: Above the chalice and the raven in the center, on either side of Saint Benedict: “Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti” (Cross of the Holy Father Benedict).  Words around the perimeter of the medal: “Ejus in obitu nro praesentia muniamur” (May we at our death be fortified by his presence)
    • Reverse:  At the top: Pax (Peace); Initials on the cross in the center: C. S. S. M. L. – N. D. S. M. D.
