Patron Saint

Check out this laminated, easy-to-carry, card.

St. Christopher is usually represented with the Holy Child Jesus on his shoulder.  The child holds the world in his hands as Christopher leans on a staff.  His most famous legend - which is mainly known from the West and may draw from Ancient Greek mythology - tells that he carried a child, who was unknown to him, across a river before the child revealed himself as Christ. Thusly, Christopher translates as:  Christ-bearer.

Although Christopher was never formally canonized a saint popular acclamation holds that he is the patron saint of travelers.  Practitioners of various Christian faith traditions may wear a Christopher medallion around the neck, on a bracelet, carried in a pocket, or placed in a vehicle.
