St. Benedict

St. Benedict of Nursia is the founder of Western Monasticism. His Rule of Life, which focused on prayer and work, has served as the basis for European monasteries for 1500 years. 

The St. Benedict medal is a Christian sacramental medal containing symbols and text related to the life of St. Benedict. The medal is one of the oldest and most honored medals and due to the belief in its power against evil is also known as the "devil-chasing medal". The medal is used by Roman Catholics to ward off spiritual and physical dangers, especially those related to evil, poison, and temptation.
