EARRINGS - ST BENEDICT MEDAL - TWO-TONE

The Saint Benedict Medal is a Christian sacramental medal containing symbols and text related to the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia, used by Roman Catholics, as well as Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and the Western Orthodox, in the Benedictine Christian tradition.

The medal is one of the oldest and most honored medals and due to the belief in its power against evil is also known as the "devil-chasing medal". As early as the 11th century, it may have initially had the form of Saint Benedict's cross, and was used by Pope Leo IX. Its use became more widespread after its formal approval by Pope Benedict XIV in the 18th century. The medal is used to ward off spiritual and physical dangers, especially those related to evil, poison, and temptation.

These adorable earrings are crafted using tiny St. Benedict medals and hypoallergenic wire.
