St Christopher, the patron saint of travellers, is a fascinating figure revered in many cultures around the world. His story is shrouded in an aura of mystery and devotion, making him one of the most intriguing and beloved saints.
Legend has it that Christopher was a giant of extraordinary strength, eager to serve the greatest of kings. His quest led him to Christ, the King of Kings, and he decided to serve him by helping people cross a dangerous river. One day, a child asked to be carried on his shoulders across the river. During the troubled crossing, the child became inexplicably heavy, so much so that he almost submerged the giant. At the end of the journey, the child revealed that he was Christ himself, and that he carried the weight of the entire world on his shoulders. From that moment on, Christopher became known as the Christ-bearer.
