It is the form many families choose for the wall of the home, and a smaller one is a natural companion on a chain or at the end of a rosary.

This page gathers every St. Benedict cross we have, from tiny 3/4 inch crucifixes for rosaries and 1.5 or 2 inch pendants up to 3, 4.5, 5 and 7.5 inch crosses. They come in dark wood, olive wood, painted wood and red, blue, green, white, black or brown finishes, and a few glow in the dark. You will also find Celtic cross pendants with the medal and the 3-Way Pardon crucifix, which carries both the St. Benedict medal and the Miraculous Medal.

To narrow the choice, see Pectoral Crucifixes to wear on the chest or Wall Crucifixes for the home. We bring these crosses to the Papal audience in St. Peter's Square to be blessed by Pope Leo XIV, and each blessed piece ships from Rome with a holy card of the Papal blessing. Medals, rosaries and the rest are on the St. Benedict page.

A 3/4 inch cross suits a rosary and a 1.5 or 2 inch pendant suits a chain. For a wall, choose 4.5 to 7.5 inches.
