Standing St Benedict Crucifix

A unique St. Benedict cross that displays the front and back of the medal in a unique way. The arms of the cross show St. Benedict and Our Lady with Child, two angels beside Christ, a raven (associated with St. Benedict) and the chalice with serpent (also associated with the life and legend of the Saint.) Reads: Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum (Latin for Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews).

C.S.P.B. The cross of the Holy Father Benedict
C.S.S.M.I. May the Holy Cross be my light
N.D.S.M.D. Let not the dragon be my guide
V.R.S. Be Gone Devil!
N.S.M.V. Don't Persuade me to do Evil....
S.M.Q.L. The cup you offer is evil
I.V.B. Drink the poison yourself
