Built for serious Catholic devotion, this copper plated St. Benedict rosary is a complete prayer set designed for daily use, military service, or anyone who wants the protection of one of the Church's most powerful sacramentals. The copper plated beads give this rosary a warm, distinctive tone that sets it apart from standard silver or gold-tone rosaries. Every set ships with a Battle Rosary card and a hang bag, making it ready to carry, display, or give the moment it arrives.St. Benedict of Nursia (480–547 A.D.) is one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic Church and the patron of Europe, students, and those seeking protection against evil. The St. Benedict medal — prominently featured on this rosary — is among the most widely used sacramentals in Catholic tradition. The medal's reverse side bears the Vade Retro Satana inscription ("Step back, Satan"), along with the letters C.S.P.B. (Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti — "The Cross of the Holy Father Benedict"). Pope Leo IX formally approved the medal's use in 1051, and it has been carried by soldiers, missionaries, and the faithful ever since as a sign of trust in God's protection and a rejection of evil. The Rosary itself is a meditative prayer rooted in Scripture, structured around the mysteries of Christ's life, death, and resurrection, and commended by numerous popes as a weapon of spiritual warfare — which is precisely why this rosary pairs the St. Benedict medal with a Battle Rosary card.Product Details Beads: Copper plated — warm metallic finish with durable plating Medal: St. Benedict medal centerpiece Finish: Copper plated throughout Included: Battle Rosary card and hang bag Packaging: Comes in a hang bag SKU: P251BC UPC: 735365536474 Manufacturer: McVan Inc.

Soldiers have carried rosaries into combat for centuries, trusting in Our Lady's intercession and the power of meditative prayer to sustain them through fear, danger, and moral uncertainty. The pairing of the St. Benedict medal with a rosary amplifies this protective symbolism: St. Benedict's medal is explicitly an exorcistic sacramental, blessed with a specific formula approved by the Church, and intended to ward off evil and invoke God's protection over the one who carries it. The Battle Rosary card included with this set provides the prayers and mysteries needed to pray the full Rosary, making this a functional devotional tool and not merely a decorative item.For Catholics who take spiritual warfare seriously — whether in military service, in family life, or in personal struggle — this rosary is a tangible reminder of the Church's ancient confidence that prayer, sacramentals, and the intercession of the saints are real and effective. St. Paul's exhortation in Ephesians 6:11 to "put on the full armor of God" finds a concrete expression in the daily practice of the Rosary and the wearing of the St. Benedict medal.Ships within 1–2 business days.
