Hello friends! a skunked day ... all findings are the 19th and 20th century but anything except a silver perforated reused ... (A religious medal is a bit special ... exorcisms experts recognize it right away, it is a medal of St. Benedict) these religious medals were used during the 19th century to remove the evil spirits ....

The characters that are read in the medal

In addition to the images of Cruz and San Benito, the medal also brings a number of letters, each of which represents a Latin word. The various words together have a meaning which expresses the intention of the Medal: to express the relationship between the holy Patriarch Benito and Santa Cruz and at the same time, make available to the faithful an effective means of employing the virtue of Santa Cruz against evil spirits.

These strange characters are arranged on the side of the Medal is represented in the Holy Cross. Consider, first, the four placed in the arms of the Cross:

C S

P B

Mean: Sancti Patris Benedict Cruz, in English, Holy Cross Father Benito. These words explain the purpose of the medal.

In the vertical line of the cross reads:

C

S

S

M

L

Which means: Cruz sacra sit mihi lux, in English, Holy Cross be my light.

In the horizontal line of the same cross, reads:

N. D. S. M. D.

What this means: Non draco sit mihi dux, in English, the dragon isnot my guide.

Bringing together these two lines forms a pentameter verse, by which the Christian trusts in Santa Cruz, and their resistance to the yoke that the devil would want to impose.

Some of the medal there is a larger enrollment, which first presents the most holy name of Jesus, expressed by the well-known monogram: I. H. S. (In the best-known model of the Medal of St. Benedict the monogram IHS was replaced by the Benedictine motto PAX, in Castilian, Peace). It is followed from right to left, the following points:

V. R. S. N. S. M. V. S. M. Q. L. I. V. B.

These initials represent the two following verses:

Vade retro Satana; nuncuam vain soft mihi

Sunt quae libas bad; ipse Bibas poison.

In English, "Depart, Satan; never advise to me thy vanities, the drink you offer is evil: Drink your poisons yourself.
but something must have misspelled that medal ... wanted to come home with me
