The corpus hangs at the centre beneath an INRI plaque, with the Saint Benedict medal set as a roundel behind him at the crossing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reverse carries the same roundel on a plain shaft, Benedict standing with a cross in one hand and his rule in the other, ringed by the traditional prayer of his medal — \u003cem\u003eeius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur\u003c\/em\u003e, that we may be fortified by his presence at our death — together with the date \u003cem\u003e1880\u003c\/em\u003e, which belongs to the Benedictine jubilee medal of that year. That date and that legend come from the antique original this piece was cast from, and they place it in the great nineteenth-century revival of the Benedict devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe St. Benedict jubilee crucifix was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtisan-cast from an antique original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Equatoria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943556755641,"sku":"3c3-1419-B","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/3c3-1419-B.png?v=1787688757","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/vintage-bronze-st-benedict-crucifix-with-jubilee-medal","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
