The St. Benedict Rainbow Cross

The St. Benedict Rainbow Cross

Heaven’s help is not one gift, but many.

The cross of St. Benedict, set with stones of every color — each a reminder of the graces God pours out: protection, healing, strength, peace, and hope.

A shield of faith you can wear daily.

Child of God

Two ancient signs, joined in one cross.

The seal of Saint Benedict — the sign the faithful have turned to for centuries, whenever darkness pressed close. And the rainbow — the sign God set in the sky as His promise that He had not forgotten us.

One speaks of protection. The other, of a promise kept.

Worn together, close to you, every day.

The St. Benedict Rainbow Cross

“I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.”

— Genesis 9:13

The man behind the medal

Who was Saint Benedict?

Born in Nursia, Italy around 480 AD, Benedict left the comforts of Roman society to seek God in solitude. He became the Father of Western Monasticism — and the Church’s most celebrated protector against evil.

The accounts of his life tell of a poisoned cup that shattered at his blessing, and a raven that carried away poisoned bread before it could reach him. From his life and his prayers came the medal that bears his name.

Wear it, and you carry the seal the Church has trusted for centuries. You are not alone in what you face.

Why the rainbow

The oldest promise ever made.

When the flood had passed and Noah stepped onto dry ground, God set a rainbow in the clouds — not as decoration, but as a covenant. A visible pledge that He would never abandon His people again.

Here that promise is set into the cross itself: stones of red, amber, green, blue and violet running the length of both arms, catching the light as you move. Every colour a reminder of the covenant behind them.

Protection in the seal. A promise in the colours.

What it carries

Every Detail Has
Meaning and Purpose

At the heart of the cross sits the Saint Benedict medal — every mark on it part of an ancient prayer for God’s protection, kept by the faithful for centuries.

The Medal

Saint Benedict stands holding the Cross and the Rule of Life. Around him: “May his presence protect us in the hour of our death.”

The Cross

The sign of our salvation — and, in Benedict’s own prayer, the light by which the faithful walk: “May the Holy Cross be my light.”

PAX

The Latin word for Peace — the first and final word of the Saint Benedict medal. A quiet declaration over every life that wears it.

Set with Rainbow Stones

Bright stones in red, amber, green, blue and violet run the length of both arms — the sign of God’s covenant, carried on the Cross of His Son.

The Saint Benedict Medal

Set at the centre of the cross, bearing the sacred inscriptions the Church has used for centuries — exactly as they should be.

On a Sturdy Box Chain

A polished silver-tone box chain, made to be worn every day — over your heart, under or over your clothing.

Blessed & Gift-Packaged

Each cross is blessed in prayer before it leaves us and sent individually packaged — ready to keep, or to give.

Commonly Asked Questions – Honestly Answered
What is the St. Benedict Rainbow Cross?
A cross bearing the Medal of St. Benedict, set with stones in the colors of the rainbow, worn on a chain. It’s a sacramental — a sign of devotion and trust in God’s protection, sought through St. Benedict’s intercession.
What do the rainbow stones mean?
The colors stand for the many graces God pours into a life — protection, healing, strength, peace, and hope. Not one gift, but many. The stones themselves hold no power; they’re a reminder of what you’re asking for.
What do the letters on the medal mean?
They’re the initials of a Latin prayer against evil, including Vade retro Satana — “Begone, Satan — never tempt me with your vanities.” A prayer you carry, cast in metal.
Who was St. Benedict?
St. Benedict of Nursia

A monk (c. 480–547) who founded Western monasticism and gave his life to prayer, peace, and spiritual discipline. He is honored as a protector against evil — a reminder that God’s light overcomes all darkness — and his medal has been worn by the faithful for centuries.

Is it a lucky charm — will it protect me?
No. It isn’t magic and it guarantees no outcome. Protection belongs to God alone. Wearing it, you ask St. Benedict’s intercession and place yourself in God’s care — any grace comes through prayer, never from the metal or the stones.
How do I wear it — and can it get wet?
On its chain, over the heart — under or over your clothing, as you prefer. Best taken off to bathe or swim, since water and soap dull the finish and can loosen set stones over time. Otherwise, wear it as often as you like.
Does a priest need to bless it?
No — you can begin wearing it the moment it arrives. By tradition the Medal of St. Benedict is often blessed by a priest, and there’s a special blessing for it, which many find meaningful. It’s never required to wear it or to pray.
When will it arrive, and what if something’s wrong?
Orders are dispatched within 24 hours and take 6–10 days on average, with a page to track yours anytime. If anything isn’t right within 30 days, email us and we’ll make it right — no returns required.
