New in box original 169 Armor Brass ligther with engraving by American mystical thriller "Constantine: Lord of Darkness". John Constantine not only was in hell, but also he return from there. He was born with a talent he disliked - the ability to recognize angels and demons on the earth in human form. Marked with the seal of suicide, he got to life to patrol the border that separates heaven and hell.The St. Benedict medallion pictured on both sides of the lighter, background is filled with plant motifs. For understanding the symbolism of the medallion, you should know one case from the life of St. Benedict. He lived as a hermit in a cave for three years. Because he was known as a holy man, one religious community asked him to lead it in. Some brothers of the community did not liked this idea so they tried to kill Benedict with poisoned bread and wine. Like St. John the Evangelist, Benedict was saved from poisoning by God's intervention. When he showed the sign of the cross over the poisoned food, he understood that they were trying to kill him. So he threw the glass over and ordered the raven to take the bread away. The medallion of St. Benedict show St. Benedict holding a cross in his right hand and the "Holy Rule" in his left hand. On the left of Benedict there is a broken glass and a snake, and on the right - the raven. The text in a circle "Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur" serves as a talisman.
Every image, phrase or letter on the lighter has its symbolic value. On the back of the medallion is a cross engraved with the first letters of the words: "Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux" (Let the Holy Cross be my light) and the first letters of the words: "Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux" (May the dragon never be my guide!). Next to the cross are the initials of the words "Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti" (The cross of our holy father Benedict). The rim is engraved with the letters for the beginning of the couplet: "Vade Retro Satana, Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana - Sunt Mala Quae Libas, Ipse Venena Bibas"). Above the cross you can see the word "Pax" (Peace).
