This St Benedict medal for the car combines a silver-coloured relief with a gold-coloured rim. It shows St Benedict with a cross and a book and sticks to the dashboard by magnet or adhesive strip – a quiet companion on every journey.
Benedict of Nursia, born around 480, founded the monastery of Montecassino around 529 and wrote the Rule of St Benedict there, by which many orders still live today. He is regarded as the father of Western monasticism and has been patron saint of Europe since 1964; his feast day is 11 July. The St Benedict medal traditionally bears on its reverse a cross with the initial letters of Latin words of blessing such as “Crux sacra sit mihi lux” – may the holy cross be my light. Many ask Benedict for his intercession in danger.
