Description from the seller
Ring - Catholic - Cross - Saint Benedict - Exorcism for the fight against demons.
The thick-bodied chevalière on the worked plate level of a St. Benedict cross is a Catholic medal dating from the Middle Ages, supposedly useful as an exorcism for fighting demons.
The ring is related to Benoît de Nursie, which bears the image of Saint Benedict, surrounded by Sanctus Benedictus monachorum Patriarcha, which means Saint Benedict, Patriarch of the monks.
On the ring's plate is the cross called Saint Benedict's Cross, a series of several series of letters:
C S S M L: « Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux »: May the holy cross be my light.
N D S M D : « May the dragon not be my guide » : May the dragon not be my guide.
Which is accompanied by several series of letters.
C S P B: «Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti»: Cross of the Holy Father Benoît.
The following are noted in the corners:
Vade Retro Satana, Numquam Suade Mihi Vana: Go away, Satan, never advise me of your vanities.
S M Q L I V B : «The potions you offer are bad, drink your own poisons»: The potions you offer are evil, drink your own poisons.
Dimensions: 27 x 24 x 20 mm
Interior diameter: 20 mm
Weight: 24 g
Aged gold alloy.
I stamped.
A carrying case will be included.
It shows a fine trace of wear on the surface.
Namely
The story of the cross of Saint Benedict became popular in Christendom from the 16th century onwards. Besides its protection against the devil, it is believed to cure all kinds of illnesses, protect against accidents, and is a part of popular piety.
In his life of Saint Benedict, Gregory the Great describes the patriarch of Western monks as someone who used the sign of the cross, especially to dispel his own temptations, to break a vessel containing poison intended for him, or even to stop an apparent fire in the monastery set by the devil.
