2017.FUR.002—Saint Benedict Medallion

2017.FUR.002

Saint Benedict medallion key chain, front, belonging to Christine Furtado and carried for protection. Inscribed “”EIVS IN OBITV NRO PRAESENTIA MVNIAMVR,” which is “may we be strengthened by his presence in the hour of our death.” This usually surrounds the effigy of the saint, so it is Benedict who will strengthen the wearer in the hour of death.
