A large man at 7.5 feet tall, he worked helping travelers cross a raging river safely. One day a small child asked for his service. Perched on Christopher’s shoulders, the child grew heavier and heavier as they crossed the stream. Reaching the other shore, Christopher asked him, ‘Who are you, that you placed me in such peril? It seems I was carrying the whole world on my shoulders.’ The child replied, ‘You not only carried the world, but him who made it. I am Jesus Christ, the King.’ St. Christopher's name means ‘Christ-bearer'. The Saint Christopher medal is one of the most popular saint medals worn; he is revered by athletes, mariners, ferrymen, travelers and as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. He holds patronage of all things related to travel with protection from accidents, lightning, pestilence, floods, storms. Also patronage for a Holy death, soldiers, librarians, epilepsy, fruit dealers, gardeners, drivers, toothache, mountaineering and all transportation workers. His feast day is celebrated July 25.
