Large St. Benedict Medal

This necklace has a round, double-sided pendant. 

The front features St. Benedict holding a cross in his right hand and his rule for monasteries in his left hand.  Around the edge of the medal it reads:  Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur  (May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death.)

The back of the medal features a cross with (Latin) letters that represent words.  Down the cross, in English it means:  May the holy cross be my light!  May the dragon never be my overlord!  Across the cross it means:  The Cross of [our] Holy Father Benedict. 

Around the back of the medal are letters representing in Latin:  Begone Satan!  Never tempt me with your vanities!  What you offer me is evil.  Drink the poision yourself!

The silver plated pendant is 7/8" in diameter and hangs on a 24" heavy weight endless chain.

This necklace is from the HJ SHerman Company and comes in a deluxe gift box.
