About The St. Benedict Medal;
The exact time and date of the making of the first Saint Benedict Medal are not clear. Saint Vincent de Paul, who died in 1660, appears to have been acquainted with the Medal and the Sisters of Charity founded by him have worn it attached to their rosary beads, and for many years it was made in France for them alone.
At some point there were letters found on the back of the medal, which remained a mystery until a manuscript dating back to 1415 was found at Metten Abbey in Bavaria in 1647. The manuscript contains the first recorded use of the exorcism formula
Vade retro satana
("Step back, Satan"), and the letters were found to correspond to this phrase.
The medal was formally approved by Pope Benedict XIV in 1741 and the Jubliee medal was struck in 1880, in remembrance of the 1400th anniversary of St. Benedict’s birth. The initials of the
Vade retro satana
formula have been found on Saint Benedict Medals at least since 1780
On the front of the medal is Saint Benedict holding a cross in his right hand, the object of his devotion, and in the left his rule for monasteries. In the back is a poisoned cup, in reference to the legend of Benedict, which explains that hostile monks attempted to poison him: the cup containing poisoned wine shattered when the saint made the sign of the cross over it (and a raven carried away a poisoned loaf of bread). Above the cup are the words
Crux sancti patris Benedicti
("The Cross of [our] Holy Father Benedict"). Surrounding the figure of Saint Benedict are the words
Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur!
("May we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death"), since he was always regarded by the Benedictines as the patron of a happy death.
On the back is a cross, containing the letters C S S M L - N D S M D, initials of the words
Crux sacra sit mihi lux! Non draco sit mihi dux!
("May the holy cross be my light! May the dragon never be my overlord!").The large C S P B stand for
Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti
("The Cross of [our] Holy Father Benedict"). Surrounding the back of the medal are the letters V R S N S M V - S M Q L I V B, in reference to
Vade retro satana
:
Vade retro Satana! Nunquam suade mihi vana! Sunt mala quae libas. Ipse venena bibas!
("Begone Satan! Never tempt me with your vanities! What you offer me is evil. Drink the poison yourself!") and finally, located at the top is the word PAX which means "peace".

Did You Know that people have used beads to pray for centuries; in fact the word "bead" means "prayer". A specific, arranged set of prayers is properly referred to as a chaplet. There are hundreds of different chaplets, but the chaplet known as the Rosary is by far the most popular. It appears that rosary has been prayed by Christians through the world for at least eight hundred years.
