Peidot
Known as the stone of compassion, peridot is believed to bring good health, restful sleep and peace to relationships by balancing emotions and mind. This friendly bright green stone also has the uncanny ability to inspire eloquence and creativity; it also brings delight and good cheer.
4-Way Cross
Unfortunately, the origins of the four way cross are not known for certain. Its origin may be founded in convenience – The four way cross combines four to five medals into one!
Found on the 4-Way Cross
The Sacred Heart
Found at the top of the four way cross is a depiction of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. His heart is exposed, and a crown of thorns sit on top of his head. This image of the Sacred Heart reminds those who wear the four way cross to have a desire for sacrificial love and to show mercy to others as Christ showed mercy through his passion and suffering.
Saint Joseph
On the left side of the four way cross, Saint Joseph holds both a lily and the baby Jesus. Saint Joseph is the patron saint of the universal Church as well as a happy death. The lily that he holds represents his life of purity. Those who wear the cross are reminded of Saint Joseph’s protection.
Saint Christopher
Saint Christopher is depicted on the right side of the four way cross. The famous story of Saint Christopher involves him crossing a stream, carrying a vision of the Christ child on his shoulders. The image of Saint Christopher reminds the wearers of the four way cross to always carry the teachings of Christ with them, and not be afraid to stop their day and help those in need.
The Miraculous medal
On the bottom of the four way cross is a depiction of the miraculous medal. Mary stands on top of the world and crushes a snake (a symbol of the devil), beneath her heel. This image appears on the four way cross for several reasons. The first is that Mary represents the origin of Christ’s entry into the world. As she crushes the snake, she reminds the wearers of the four way cross that Christ has triumphed over death and evil.
The Holy Spirit
Finally, at the center of the cross is a depiction of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. This symbolizes the sacrament of baptism, recalling how the Holy Spirit appeared in the form of a dove during Christ’s baptism in the Jordan with Saint John the Baptist.

Saint Benedict centerpiece,
The Saint Benedict Medal is a Christian sacramental medal containing symbols and text related to the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia, used by Roman Catholics, as well as Anglicans, Lutherans, and the Western Orthodox, in the Benedictine Christian tradition, especially votarists and oblates.
The reverse side of the medal carries the Vade retro satana ("Begone, Satan!")[2] Sometimes carried as part of a rosary, it is also worn separately.
