St Benedict Crosses

The St. Benedict Cross combines the power of the crucifix with the protection of the St. Benedict Medal—one of the Church's most honored sacramentals for spiritual protection. Each cross features the medal embedded in the front and back, bearing ancient Latin prayers and initials that stand for "Cross of the Holy Father Benedict" and "May the Holy Cross be my light."

Our St. Benedict collection offers both standing and wall-mounted crucifixes ranging from 7.75-inch personal prayer pieces to 24-inch statement crosses for churches and homes. Crafted by the Veronese Collection, these crucifixes feature cold cast bronze construction with pewter-style corpus (the body of Christ), gold highlights, and some pieces with pewter corpus on cold cast bronze crosses for striking two-tone designs. The protective medal is clearly visible, making these crosses popular for homes, vehicles, and any space needing spiritual safeguarding.

St. Benedict crosses make powerful gifts for baptisms, confirmations, new homeowners, or anyone seeking protection from evil. They're also traditional for placing over doorways—a practice dating to the 6th century that continues in Catholic homes worldwide.
