Saint Christopher

Saint Christopher is a legendary martyr of the third century whose historical existence remains uncertain — a fact that did nothing to diminish centuries of fervent veneration. According to tradition, he was a man of great stature who carried travelers across a treacherous river. On one occasion, a child he bore grew increasingly heavy as they crossed; the child revealed himself to be Christ — hence the name Christophoros: bearer of Christ. From this image of the ferryman who brings others safely to the other shore grew his patronage of travelers and pilgrims. The medal of Saint Christopher remains one of the most widely carried devotional objects in the Catholic world — no saint is more present on the dashboards of the faithful.

In 1969, his feast day was removed from the General Roman Calendar — he remains a saint, and his patronage stands undiminished. In the Traditional Latin Mass, his feast is celebrated without interruption on July 25th.
