EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the legendary encounter between St. Benedict and the Devil during the construction of a chapel. As depicted in this illustration from Paul Lacroix's book, "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" published in London circa 1880, St. Benedict is seen standing before a stone on which the Devil has firmly perched himself. According to the tale, nobody could move or dislodge the malevolent creature until St. Benedict blessed the stone with his divine powers. The moment he uttered his sacred words, an extraordinary transformation occurred -the Devil took flight! In this artwork by Ken Welsh, we witness him vanishing into thin air as if consumed by fear and defeat. This image not only showcases medieval religious beliefs but also highlights St. Benedict's unwavering faith and ability to triumph over evil forces through his blessings. The detailed illustration transports us back to a time when legends like these were deeply ingrained within society. As we gaze upon this historical piece, it serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against temptation and our constant pursuit of spiritual enlightenment even amidst challenging circumstances.
