Rhodium-Plated 14k Yellow and White Gold Two-tone St. Benedict Medal Crucifix Cross Pendant(24.89X18.03MM)

St. Benedict, the Father of Western monasticism and twin brother of Saint Scholastica, is considered the patron of monks, students and speleologists (cave explorers). He was born in Nursia, Italy and educated in Rome. He decided to live the life of a hermit and settled at the mountainous Subiaco, where he lived in a cave for three years. Benedict founded twelve communities for monks at Subiaco, Italy before moving to Monte Cassino to build the monastery that was to be the birthplace of Western monasticism. He organized the monks into a single monastic community and wrote his famous Rule. Seventy-three short chapters comprise the Rule. Its wisdom is of two kinds: spiritual (how to live a Christocentric life on earth) and administrative (how to run a monastery efficiently). It was to affect spiritual and monastic life in the West for centuries to come.

Gold is one of the first-born metals to be on display and used by man. The rich color of gold has long been related with divine intelligence, fruitfulness and faithfulness. The spiritual meaning of gold is significant, it is said spiritual energy and power are activated and awakened by wearing or praying with gold. Gold represents the spiritual treasure gained by transforming the spirit; gold also represents love in the Bible. The Golden Age and gold represent and assist in knowledge of Celestial things, bringing on the essence of lifting your spiritual acumen. Because of its resistance to heat and acid, it is a symbol of stability, eternity and perfection.

The rising price of gold makes this a great investment.
