![An exquisite vintage 1960s 70s handmade bronze and enamel on wood icon of Saint Benedict of Nursia. Entirely handmade cast bronze figure with beautifully enameled body and halo, and which has been laid down on a hand carved curving piece of wood that has a wrought bronze hanging bar at top for hanging on a wall, although it can also be stood up on a table or a shelf for display. A lovely vintage icon that will grace your home! Here's a short history of Saint Benedict that I compiled from online sources:
St. Benedict (born c. 480 CE, Nursia [Italy]—died c. 547, Monte Cassino; feast day July 11, formerly March 21) was the founder of the Benedictine monastery at Monte Cassino and father of Western monasticism; the Rule that he established became the norm for monastic living throughout Europe. In 1964, in view of the work of monks following the Benedictine Rule in the evangelization and civilization of so many European countries in the Middle Ages, Pope Paul VI proclaimed him the patron saint of all Europe.
St. Benedict is the patron saint of Europe, students, and Benedictine monasticism. He established the greatest and most famous of all monasteries at Monte Cassino, which became the home of the Benedictine Order. This icon portrays the founder of the Benedictine order dressed as an abbot, holding a scroll symbolizing his famous Rule for Monks. The words portrayed are, "Listen carefully, my son, to the master's instructions, and attend to them with the ear of your heart."
The wood backing measures just under 9" tall by 6.5" wide by about almost 2" deep at center. The enameled bronze figure at center measures almost 6" tall by 2-3/8" wide by about 1" deepest point. Weighs about 1.6 pounds prior to packing. Unmarked. I am guessing that this icon is the product of one of the American monasteries that produced modernist style religious art in the second half of the 20th century. Very finely done, and very well preserved! Excellent vintage condition.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lcelxo4wwnwb4rg4isckb74o/bafkreiaudkr75hwrazjzqfi5lak276vvbavqce5hgggf6ttrar3jk63gyi)

On this Memorial of Saint Benedict, we remember a man who left everything to gain everything. His life of prayer, work, and community continues to shape the Church. May we follow his path of wisdom, humility, and peace. #jesus #jesuschrist #catholicchurch #catholic #saintbenedict #stbenedict
Saint Benedict of Nursia, honored on July 11, taught us the balance of prayer, work, and rest. His teachings on community and simplicity still resonate, urging us to slow down and focus on spiritual life. #SaintBenedict #OraEtLabora ✝️

Seeing it's the it's the Feast Day of #StBenedict, here's a video on Br. Arsanius and his Arabic translation (from RB80) of the Rule of Saint Benedict. Last year I was able to visit his Coptic Catholic monastery in Ismailia

A thread of prints, postcards & engravings for today's Feast of #SaintBenedict

On the left is a 1980 portrait of Benedict as 'The Sower' [Sembrador] by Jose Vela Zanetti from the Spanish abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos, next to a 1772 painting at Melk Abbey by Martin Johann Schmidt (aka Kremser Schmidt)

#monasticism
This painting of #SaintBenedict is by Girolamo Tessari (c. 1480 – c. 1561) and hangs at the Abbey of Santa Giustina in Padua. In his hand he is holding the Holy Rule of Saint Benedict, which comprises a Prologue and seventy-three chapters of varying length
Other portraits of #SaintBenedict from the Sacro Speco are far removed from the Byzantine style - here's a postcard of the marble statue (1657) by Antonio Raggi, a pupil of Bernini's.
As today is the Feast of St Benedict, it's a good day to share some of my old postcards and prayercards that I sorted out a while ago: so be prepared for some Benedictine iconography throughout the day
