The beautiful bracelet from Međugorje. Each bracelet is handmade using 1 silver St. Benedict Italian bead. Bracelet can be adjusted from 14 cm to 26 cm (5,5″ to 10″), and this size fits most. This medal is your way to obtain God's blessings and protection through the intercession of St. Benedict.
The purpose of wearing the medal is to call down God's blessing and protection upon us, wherever we are, through the intercession of St. Benedict. By the conscious and devout use of the medal it becomes a constant silent prayer and reminder to us of our dignity as followers of Christ.
On the face of the medal there is a picture of St. Benedict holding a cross in his right hand, and in his left hand he is holding a book with rules of monastery. On his right there is a cup from which a serpent is escaping (a recollection of the poisoned wine which he miraculously escaped). On the left we have a crow taking away the poisoned bread.
On the back of the medal is a cross with Latin initials. Due to the fact that the cross represented here is an essential element of this medal, it is called the Medal – Crucifix of St. Benedict.
"PAX" is written under the Cross: the motto of the Congregation of Cassino and of the entire Benedictine order
