The Saint Benedict Medal is an important, sacramental medal which holds deep meaning for Christians and Catholics throughout the world. The symbol has been traditionally used to call down the blessing of God upon the faithful and it's believed that it gives protection
No one knows exactly when the original Saint Benedict Medal was first created but it was initially made as a cross that was dedicated to St. Benedict of Nursia. Some versions of this medal feature the image of the Saint holding a cross in his right hand and his book ‘The Rule for Monasteries' in his left. Around his figure were certain letters said to be words, but their meaning has got lost over time. However, in 1647, a manuscript which dated back to 1415 was discovered at St. Michael's Abbey located in Metten, Bavaria, which gave an explanation of the unknown letters on the medal
The Saint Benedict Medal is mainly used to remind devotees of God and to inspire the desire and willingness to serve God and one's neighbor, but it's also popular as an amulet
