The Saint Benedict cross, or medal, is a significant religious symbol, particularly within the Catholic faith, and especially among Benedictine monks. It is believed to offer protection against evil and is often worn or displayed in homes for blessings and warding off harm. The medal is known for its unique design, featuring Saint Benedict with a cross, a poisoned cup, and a raven, all referencing legends about the saint’s miraculous escapes and protection. The text on the medal, “Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti” (“The Cross of our Holy Father Benedict”), further emphasizes its connection to the saint. 

Here’s a more detailed look at the St. Benedict cross:
Symbolism:
  • St. Benedict:
    The medal depicts Saint Benedict holding a cross in his right hand, symbolizing salvation and the Christian faith. 

  • Poisoned Cup:
    To the right of St. Benedict, a shattered cup symbolizes a failed attempt to poison the saint. 

  • Raven:
    To the left of St. Benedict, a raven clutching a poisoned loaf of bread represents another attempt to harm the saint, which was also foiled. 

  • Latin Inscriptions:
  • “Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti” (The Cross of our Holy Father Benedict). 
  • “Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur” (May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death). 
  • Origin and Significance:
  • The St. Benedict medal was first created in 1880 to commemorate the fourteenth centenary of Saint Benedict’s birth. 
  • It is believed to provide protection against evil and temptation, particularly against demonic forces and physical harm. 
  • It is also seen as a reminder of Saint Benedict’s strong faith and his miraculous escapes from harm. 
Use and Devotion:
  • The medal is often worn as a pendant or placed in homes and other places for protection and blessing. 
  • It is a powerful reminder of the power of faith and the intercession of Saint Benedict. 
The St. Benedict cross is a cherished symbol within the Catholic Church, representing faith, protection, and the power of prayer, according to EWTN Vatican and the National Catholic Register.
