La Medalla de San Benito / The Saint Benedict Medal
Founded in the 6th century, the Medal of Saint Benedict is one of the oldest and most venerated sacramentals in the Catholic Church. The letters on the medal encode the Latin exorcism prayer: "Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux, Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux" — "May the Holy Cross be my light; may the dragon never be my guide."
For families honoring their dead, placing this medal on the ofrenda is a declaration of faith: that those we love are protected, guided, and held in sacred light.
"Faith protects those we love, even beyond life."
