The name St. Christopher means 'bearer of Christ'. One of his legends tells that he was a giant Canaanite and wanted to serve the greatest king. Thus he began to serve Satan, until he found out that the sight of the crucifix made his lord take flight. He then dedicated himself to serving Christ by helping travelers to cross a dangerous river.

Once a child asked for assistance. While crossing Christopher felt that the child was getting heavier and heavier. It took all his strength and skill to reach the other bank and save the child, who then revealed himself to be Christ.

Later Christopher preached the Gospel in Lycia, until he was imprisoned by Decius. He suffered martyrdom when beheaded for his beliefs. He is now the saint patron of travelers.

Prayer to Saint Christopher
Dear Saint, you have inherited a beautiful name
- Christbearer -
as a result of a wonderful legend
that while carrying people across a raging stream
you also carried the Child Jesus.
Teach us to be true Christbearers to those who do not know him.
Protect all drivers who often transports
those who bear Christ within them.
Amen.
