The medal

It's a SAINT BENEDICT Medal. Wikepedia says:

The medal is one of the oldest and most honored medals used by Christians and due to the belief in its power against evil is also known as the "devil-chasing medal"

It is effective in many ways:
to destroy witchcraft and all other diabolical and haunting influences;
to impart protection to persons tempted, deluded, or tormented by evil spirits;
to obtain the conversion of sinners to the Catholic Church, especially when they are in danger of death;
to serve as an armor against temptation;
to destroy the effects of poison;
to secure a timely and healthy birth for children;
to afford protection against storms and lightning;
to serve as an efficacious remedy for bodily afflictions and a means of protection against contagious diseases.


WOW ......

I enjoyed the movie, it was well acted and very intense..... but knowing that it is based on actual events..... creeps me out !!!!

Thanks so much! I thought maybe that was what it was judging from the cross on the back but wasn't sure.
