A powerful expression of protection and devotion, this Saint Benedict crucifix necklace is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and designed in the traditional form of the Passion Cross—its flared ends symbolizing the nails of the Crucifixion. At the center, the figure of Christ is positioned over the Saint Benedict medal, known for its protective inscriptions, including “Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux / Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux” (“May the Holy Cross be my light / Let not the dragon be my guide”). Above Christ appears the INRI inscription, and on the reverse, Saint Benedict is shown holding a cross and the Rule, with SAINT BENEDICT engraved down the vertical arm of the cross. Suitable for both men and women, this timeless piece is designed by Marina, a leader in faith-based design. It includes a high-quality sterling silver chain in your chosen length and is presented in a luxury gift box.

For centuries, the Saint Benedict Medal has been revered as a spiritual shield, offering protection through its powerful Latin inscriptions. On the front side, Saint Benedict is depicted holding a cross and the Rule of Saint Benedict. Around him is the inscription: “May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death.” On the reverse side, the cross bears the initials C S S M L (“May the Holy Cross be my light”) and N D S M D (“Let not the dragon be my guide”). At the top, PAX—the Latin word for “peace”—serves as a reminder of spiritual calm and protection.
