Religious Jewelry :: St. Christopher Medals

St. Christopher is often heralded as the patron saint of travelers in addition to many other causes.  According to ancient Christian lore, St. Christopher helped travelers cross a raging river by carrying them on his back. One day, he came to carry a child across.

 

Sitting on Christopher's back, the child became heavier and heavier as they trudged across the river. When Christopher got to the other side, he asked the child, "Who are you and why did you put me in such danger? It felt like I was carrying the whole world on my shoulders."

 

"You not only carried the world," the child said to Christopher, "but Him who made it. I am Jesus Christ, the King."
