INRI and the medal of Saint Benedict
The four letters above the crucifix, INRI, abbreviate the Latin Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. The Gospel of John says Pilate had this title written in Hebrew, Greek and Latin and fixed to the cross. The Saint Benedict medal on this rosary adds the prayers of the Benedictine tradition, beginning with a request that the holy cross be a light. Catholics carry a rosary like this to pray it, and many keep it on them through the day. The beads are natural wood with a black finish, with a 3.1 by 5.3 cm crucifix.
Giving it as a gift
A sober gift for a confirmation, for Father's Day, or for anyone at Easter. Its black beads suit a man or woman who wants a rosary meant for daily prayer rather than display.
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
