The crucifix is known as the “The Cross of a Happy Death” because of its exorcizing properties and because of St. Benedict’s own death. St. Benedict lied for days near death. On the sixth day he commanded his monks to carry him into the oratory where he received the Body and Blood of Christ. He had his weakened body held up by his disciples and stood with his hands lifted up to heaven. While he was praying in an upright position, he died. A plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions to one who at the hour of his death, kisses, touches or otherwise reverences the Crucifix and commends his soul to God.

After receiving a sacramental which has the St. Benedict medal, it is recommended to have it blessed by a priest using the Benedictine blessing.
