The medal of Saint Benedict, with its cross and the initials of its old Latin prayer, set on a ring. A medal Christians have carried for centuries, now worn on the hand.
The meaning
The symbol · Cross
PAX, the word above the cross
The back of the Saint Benedict medal is crowded with letters. On the arms of the cross, CSSML and NDSMD stand for a Latin verse: may the holy cross be my light, let not the dragon be my guide. Around the edge, VRSNSMV and SMQLIVB form a short rejection of temptation. Above it all sits a single word, PAX, peace, long a motto of the Benedictines. Catholics wear the medal to ask for God's help against evil. On this ring the whole design moves from the neck to the hand, in polished silver or gold tone, US sizes 7 to 12.
Giving it as a gift
Good for a husband on Father's Day, or for a confirmand who has chosen Saint Benedict as patron. Because it stays on the finger, it suits anyone who has to take necklaces off for work.
The prayer
Crux sacra sit mihi lux. Non draco sit mihi dux. (May the holy cross be my light. Let not the dragon be my guide.)
Latin verses on the Saint Benedict medal, found in a 1415 manuscript at Metten Abbey, Bavaria
