Built around the medal of St. Benedict, this rosary carries one of the most powerful sacramentals in the Catholic tradition into daily prayer.

St. Benedict of Nursia (c. 480–547) is the father of Western monasticism, founder of the Benedictine Order, and one of Christianity's most powerful intercessors against evil. The medal that bears his name has been venerated since at least the 11th century, and the inscriptions on it form a prayer of exorcism in Latin: Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti (Cross of the Holy Father Benedict) and Vade retro Satana (Begone, Satan).

The olive tree is one of the great symbols of Scripture — a sign of peace, of anointing, and of the land where Jesus lived. Rosaries carved from Holy Land olive wood are a quiet way of carrying that connection through the day, bead by bead, decade by decade.
