Signet Ring of Saint Benedict and Saint Anthony – Exorcism and Protection Against Evil - Ring

Saint Benoît and Saint Antoine Signet – Exorcism and Protection Against Evil.

This signet unites the Medal of Saint Benedict, the famous symbol of exorcism and protection, with the sacred words of the Brief of Saint Anthony of Padua, bringing together on a single insignia two great Christian traditions of deliverance from Evil.

On the solitary heights of Monte Cassino, in the 6th century, Saint Benedict of Nursia founded Western monastic life and raised a spiritual rampart against the disorders of his time. A man of contemplation and prayer, the holy patriarch opposed the sign of the Holy Cross to the traps of the demon and to the poisons of adversity, making his order a fortress devoted to the triumph of divine peace.

At his side in sacred history stands the great Western thaumaturge, Saint Anthony of Padua. Doctor of the Church and preacher with the fiery word, the Franciscan saint traveled across 13th-century Europe to aid the afflicted and deliver souls besieged by doubt and despair. It is from his protective zeal that the famous Brief of Saint Anthony was born, this formulary of deliverance proclaiming the victory of faith over all the world’s darkness.

This signet brings together these two giants of Christianity on a single protective badge. At the heart of this alliance lies the famous Medal of Saint Benedict, bearing the phrases of the Holy Cross and the powerful “Vade Retro Satana,” paired with the sacred words of Saint Anthony proclaiming the triumph of the Lion of Judah. This union gathers the authority of monastic silence and the zeal of the great miracle-worker in a spiritual guard of exceptional intensity.

Wearing this jewel in your hand is to shelter behind the double authority of the Church’s two most famous protectors: a constant presence to repel harmful influences, soothe fears, and walk with the steadfast spirit of those who rely on centuries of prayers.

History & Secrets of the Symbol:

The Medal of Saint Benedict: The Universal Seal of Exorcism
Officially solemnized by Pope Benedict XIV in 1742 after the discovery of the ancient manuscripts of Metten Abbey in Bavaria, the Medal of Saint Benedict is the Church’s major spiritual weapon. It is traditionally worn to break curses, disarm occult snares, and preserve the integrity of the person and the home.

The Complete Decoding of the Letters of Saint Benedict
Each letter engraved on the cross corresponds to an invocation of authority in Latin:
PAX: The motto of the Benedictine order, proclaiming the victory of divine peace over disorder.
C S P B (in the four corners of the cross): Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti – Cross of the Holy Father Benedict.
C S S M L (on the vertical stem): Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux – May the Holy Cross be my light.
N D S M D (on the crossbar): Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux – Let the demon not be my guide.
V R S N S M V (around the right): Vade Retro Satana, Non Suade Mihi Vana – Begone, Satan, do not tempt me with vanities.
S M Q L I V B (around the left): Sunt Mala Quae Libas, Ipse Venena Bibas – What you offer is evil; drink your own poisons.

The Brief of Saint Anthony: The Miracle of Lisbon and the Vatican
Engraved in the four cantons surrounding the cross, the formulas Ecce Crucem Domini, Fugite Partes Adversae, and Vicit Leo De Tribu Juda reprise the famous Deliverance Brief entrusted by Saint Anthony to Lisbon in the 13th century. Faced with the power of this miracle that liberated a woman from the darkest torments, the formula was incorporated into the jewels of the Portuguese crown before Pope Sixtus V had it engraved at the base of the great obelisk in Saint Peter’s Square, Rome.

The Double Spiritual Guard: Faith Worn in the Hand
Bringing together on a single insignia the exorcism cross of Saint Benedict and Saint Anthony’s triumphal sentence lends the gesture a reassuring defensive presence. In sacred tradition, displaying these protective formulas helps maintain exemplary calm, dissolves anxieties, and preserves inner peace before every obstacle of existence.
