This rosary places the great medal of St. Benedict at its center — one of the oldest and most loved sacramentals of the Catholic Church.

St. Benedict gave the Western Church its most enduring rule of life — ora et labora, pray and work — and gave the faithful a medal that carries the prayers of his monks across the centuries. Praying the rosary while wearing or holding the Benedict medal is a quiet act of placing oneself under the protection of the Cross he loved above all else.

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.
