St. Benedict

Canonized in 1220, St. Benedict of Nursia is considered to be the founder of Christian monastic communities.

Throughout his life, Saint Benedict founded twelve monastic orders. In modern times, St. Benedict is often called upon as a protector against evil forces.

In fact, the St. Benedict medal is considered to be a powerful form of protection against temptation and evil. For that reason, MaryShop.com carries a large selection of St. Benedict medals as well as the St. Benedict crucifix, crosses, decals and more.
