St. Benedict Home Protection Kit
Serving as a visual reminder to the protections that our Lord affords us through His sacrifice on the cross, the St. Benedict medal gives us prayers to keep evil at bay. We beautifully crafted a 3d printed version of the front of the medal with hand painted touches to resemble a piece of carved wood or a struck piece of metal. Our St. Benedict Home Protection Kit includes four 3d printed medals designed to be easily hung in the corners of your home - north, south, east and west - as is the customary protection. The Benedictine Order's website gives a great explanation of the meaning here: osb.org

The Benedictine Order's website gives a great explanation of it’s meaning on its website (osb.org/the-medal-of-saint-benedict) but here is an excerpt:
“There is no special way prescribed for carrying or wearing the Medal of St. Benedict. It can be worn on a chain around the neck, attached to one’s rosary, kept in one’s pocket or purse, or placed in one’s car or home. Some of the faithful often put the medal into the foundations of houses and building, on the walls of barns and sheds, or in one’s place of business. The purpose of using the medal in any of the above ways is to call down God’s blessing and protection upon us, wherever we are, and upon our homes and possessions, especially through the intercession of St. Benedict. By the conscious and devout use of the medal, it becomes, as it were, a constant silent prayer and reminder to us of our dignity as followers of Christ.
The medal is a prayer of exorcism against Satan, a prayer for strength in time of temptation, a prayer for peace among ourselves and among the nations of the world, a prayer that the Cross of Christ be our light and guide, a prayer of firm rejection of all that is evil, a prayer of petition that we may with Christian courage “walk in God’s ways, with the Gospel as our guide,” as St. Benedict urges us.”
