St Benedict Door Hanger for New Home Blessing includes Medals Crucifix and Card Saint Benedict Medal Crucifix and Prayer Card in Home Blessing Catholic Kit

The St Benedict door hanger for blessing your house includes the Saint Benedict Medal in two sizes, a Saint Benedict Crucifix, and a Saint Benedict prayer card with miniature Saint Benedict Crucifix. RICH IN HISTORY Requests for intercession of St. Benedict go back to the mid-6th century. As the founder of lifelong Catholic monastic communities based on prayer and hard work, he is seen as an ideal patron for homes and families. SIMPLE BEAUTY In keeping with his humble way of life, the door hanger is woven from strands of white, brown, and black cord. The cord ends are finished with carved and polished wooden beads in earthen tricolors. Just below the 2" hanger loop is a 1" square black lacquered wooden bead with St. Benedict's picture on the front. INTERCESSION MEDALS At one end of two of the cords are a 1 1/2" and a 1 1/4" St. Benedict jubilee medal. The front of each medal has St. Benedict -- with a cross in one hand and the Benedictine Rule in the other. The back has his unique cross and initials for several Latin inscriptions. The full explanations for all the medal inscriptions can be found at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13338a.htm. ST BENEDICT CRUCIFIX At the end of the third cord is a St Benidict Crucifix. The metal crucifix has a 1/2" replica of the St. Benedict medal in the center of the cross beams beneath the figure of Christ. The inset interior of the crossbeams is tastefully done in black to highlight the crucified Christ and St. Benedict medal. BONUS PRAYER CARD AND CROSS To supplement and complete these religious gifts, a St. Benedict prayer card is included in this bundle. It has a full color picture of St. Benedict standing at prayer. The back has the prayer to St. Benedict for intercession. Lastly, in a separate resealable bag, is a 1" St. Benedict crucifix with jump ring for attaching to a necklace or bracelet.
