Rhodium-Plated 14k Yellow Gold Circle St. Benedict Medal Pendant

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.
