The Saint Benedict Cross carries a history that stretches back to the early sixth century, when Saint Benedict of Nursia established the Benedictine monastic tradition at Monte Cassino in Italy. There, he composed his celebrated Rule. Renowned for its call to “pray and work,” the Rule soon spread across Europe, shaping Western monastic life and earning Benedict the title patron saint of Europe.
For centuries, the Saint Benedict Medal has been revered as a spiritual shield, its Latin inscriptions invoked for protection. On the front, Saint Benedict stands holding both a cross and his Rule, circled by the plea: “May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death.” The reverse shows a cross marked with the letters C S S M L, meaning “May the Holy Cross be my light,” and N D S M D, “Let not the dragon be my guide.” Above them, PAX simply proclaims “Peace.”
