About San Benito and Its Significance
Saint Benedict of Nursia, commonly referred to as San Benito, is a revered figure in Christian tradition, particularly in Catholicism. Born in the 5th century, he is known as the founder of Western monasticism and the creator of the Rule of St. Benedict, which guides the lives of Benedictine monks and nuns. His life was marked by devotion, discipline, and a profound impact on the religious community.
The San Benito medallion, often called the Saint Benedict Medal, is one of the oldest and most honored medals used by Christians. It is believed to possess powerful protective properties against evil, temptation, and harm. The medal features a cross with inscriptions in Latin, including “Vade retro satana” (“Begone, Satan”), “Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux” (“The Holy Cross be my Light”), and other prayers invoking the protection and guidance of Saint Benedict.
