The Door Blessing/Door Protection has ten knots around the hanger, which stands for one decade of the rosary. There are a total of 7 hanging strings that contain charms added specifically for protection that feature images of Jesus, several Saints, and the Guardian Angel. Although it is specifically made to suit most doorknobs, you can hang it wherever you like. The complimentary extra large Saint Benedict metal medal 5 inch diameter is a Christian Symbol of opening doors and opening difficult paths. For this reason, it is typically hung above the main doorframe.
Use Of Saint Benedict Medal: The purpose of using the medal 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.
About Saint Benedict:In the Life of Saint Benedict written by Pope Saint Gregory the Great, Abbot Benito manifests a special devotion to the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, sign of salvation. In one of the miracles narrated by his biography, a glass containing poisons breaks when St. Benedict does the sign of the cross on himself. On another occasion, one of his disciples feels disturbed by evil, and the saint commands him to make the sign of the cross on his heart to be released.
