ST BENEDICT MEDAL (wood)
This 6" diameter plaque is handcrafted of maple or alder wood with a beveled edge and clear satin finish by the monks of St. Andrew Abbey, using a laser to engrave the design. You will be remembered in their daily prayers as a benefactor to the abbey.
The front of the ancient Medal of St. Benedict is shown, depicting St. Benedict holding in his right hand a cross, and in his left, the book of his Rule. On his right is a poisoned cup, and on his left a raven with a poisoned loaf. A jealous enemy had given him this cup and loaf; when St. Benedict made the Sign of the Cross over them, the cup shattered and a raven carried away the loaf. Above these items are the Latin words "CRUX SANCTI PATRIS BENEDICTI" (The Cross of our holy father Benedict). Surrounding the figure of St. Benedict are the words "EIUS IN OBITU NOSTRO PRAESENTIA MUNIAMUR!" (May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death), as he was always regarded by the Benedictines as the patron of a happy death.
Comes packed with padded base for display plus informational leaflet.
