Read our full Return & Refund Policy →Wooden St. Benedict Standing Table Crucifix — 5.375 Inches
Bring the timeless power of sacred tradition into your home with this handcrafted wooden standing crucifix. Measuring 5.375 inches tall, this beautifully crafted table crucifix features a warm brown imbuia wood cross — also known as Brazilian walnut, prized for its rich grain and natural durability — a detailed golden corpus of Christ, and authentic St. Benedict medals, combining two of the most revered symbols in Catholic devotional life into a single, meaningful piece.
Whether placed on a desk, nightstand, prayer table, or home altar, this crucifix serves as a daily anchor of faith — a quiet, constant reminder of Christ's sacrifice and the spiritual protection that St. Benedict's intercession offers to those who keep it near.
The St. Benedict Medal: A Shield Against Evil
At the heart of this crucifix are the St. Benedict medals, whose history stretches back over 1,500 years to the life of St. Benedict of Nursia (480–547 AD), the father of Western monasticism. The medal bears the famous Vade Retro Satana inscription — "Begone, Satan" — along with the letters C.S.P.B. (Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti, meaning "the Cross of the Holy Father Benedict") and the C.S.S.M.L. (Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux, "May the Holy Cross be my light").
For centuries, Catholics have placed St. Benedict medals above doorways, carried them in pockets, and displayed them in their homes as a powerful sacramental against evil, temptation, and harm. Incorporating these medals into a standing crucifix makes this piece both a devotional object and a spiritual guardian for your living space.
Craftsmanship & Materials
Each crucifix is hand-assembled with care, combining:
- Imbuia wood cross (Brazilian walnut) — a dense, fine-grained hardwood native to Brazil, with warm brown tones that deepen with age and complement any home décor
- Golden metal corpus — a detailed depiction of Christ that honors the solemnity of the crucifix
- Authentic St. Benedict medals — faithfully rendered with traditional iconography
- Removable standing base — provides stable freestanding display on any flat surface; detaches cleanly when not needed
- Wall-hanging notch — a discreet notch on the back of the cross lets you mount it directly on a wall without the base, giving you full flexibility in how and where you display it
At 5.375 inches (13.7 cm) tall, this crucifix strikes the ideal balance: substantial enough to be a meaningful presence in a room, compact enough to sit comfortably on a desk or bedside table without dominating the space.
Perfect for Every Sacred Space
This standing crucifix is designed to fit naturally into the rhythms of Catholic life:
- Home office or desk — a grounding presence during the workday, a reminder that your work is offered up
- Bedside table — invite the protection of Christ and St. Benedict into your night's rest
- Home altar or prayer corner — a centerpiece for daily rosary, Liturgy of the Hours, or personal meditation
- Children's bedroom — a gentle introduction to devotional life and the protective intercession of the saints
- Wall display — remove the base and hang directly using the built-in notch; works equally well as a wall crucifix in a hallway, bedroom, or prayer space
- Chapel or parish gift shop — a trusted, affordable devotional piece for any Catholic community
A Gift That Carries Meaning
Few gifts speak as deeply to a Catholic as one chosen with their spiritual life in mind. This standing crucifix is a thoughtful, beautifully presented choice for:
- Confirmation — as a candidate receives the gifts of the Holy Spirit, a St. Benedict crucifix marks the occasion with enduring symbolism
- RCIA — welcome new members of the Church with a gift that anchors their faith in the home
- First Communion — celebrate a child's first reception of the Eucharist with a piece they'll keep for life
- Baptism — a lasting gift for parents as they begin raising their child in the faith
- Priestly ordination or diaconal ordination — an appropriate and meaningful expression of congratulations
- Christmas, Easter, or any feast day — for the Catholic in your life who already has everything
Ships ready for gifting — no additional wrapping required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this crucifix?
The cross measures 5.375 inches (13.7 cm) tall with the base attached. The base adds approximately 1 inch to the overall footprint at the bottom. It's compact enough for a desk or nightstand but substantial enough to be a genuine devotional presence — not a miniature.
What wood is it made from?
The cross is made from imbuia, a dense Brazilian hardwood also known as Brazilian walnut. Imbuia is valued for its rich warm-brown color, tight grain, and natural durability — the same qualities that have made it a traditional material for fine woodworking and sacred objects. The color deepens slightly with age.
Can this be hung on a wall?
Yes. The base is fully removable, and the back of the cross has a built-in hanging notch. Once the base is detached, the crucifix mounts directly on a wall like any standard wall cross. No additional hardware is needed beyond a small nail or picture hook.
Is the corpus real gold?
No. The corpus is cast metal with an antique gold-tone finish — it is not real or gold-filled metal. The finish is deliberately aged in appearance, consistent with traditional Catholic devotional art, rather than bright or polished.
Does the St. Benedict medal appear on both sides?
Yes. The St. Benedict medal is visible on both the front and back of the cross, so the protective symbolism is present whether the crucifix is displayed facing out on a wall or viewed from behind on a shelf.
What do the letters on the St. Benedict medal mean?
The medal carries several abbreviated Latin inscriptions. C.S.P.B. stands for Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti — "the Cross of the Holy Father Benedict." C.S.S.M.L. stands for Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux — "May the Holy Cross be my light." The full Vade Retro Satana formula — "Begone, Satan" — is also represented. These inscriptions form a centuries-old exorcism prayer attributed to St. Benedict himself, which is why the medal has been used as a sacramental of protection since the 11th century.
Where is this crucifix made?
It is handcrafted in Brazil.
Is this crucifix blessed?
It is not pre-blessed. As with all sacramentals, a Catholic crucifix receives its full devotional significance when blessed by a priest. We recommend bringing it to your parish for a blessing, which most priests are happy to perform.
Is this suitable as a gift?
Yes — it ships ready to give with no assembly required. It's a meaningful choice for Confirmation, RCIA, First Communion, Baptism, house blessings, priestly or diaconal ordination, Christmas, or Easter. The combination of the crucifix and the St. Benedict medal makes it appropriate for anyone seeking both a devotional object and a sacramental of protection for their home.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 60-day money-back guarantee with no restocking fee. Returns ship free for U.S. customers (limit three per customer). Contact us at 1-800-741-7754 Monday through Friday, 9 AM–6 PM EST and we'll email you a prepaid return label within one business day.
