St. Christopher Comments
Before the 1969 reform of the Roman calendar, Christopher was listed as a martyr who died under Decius. Nothing else is known about him. There are several legends about him including the one in which he was crossing a river when a child asked to be carried across.

I have a St. Christopher medal that is very old . It belonged to my son's uncle but has gone on. I just recently recieved it and I have heard several times that he is the patron saint of travelers. So yes Emily I believe he is so the patron saint of travelers, and yes Christopher I do believe in good in the world and if you read the bible you will eventually find that if you ask he will send 70,000 angels down to protect you. I believe firmly in the lord and am now about to research Saint Patrick which founded St. Patrick's Day. He came into a land that was filled with snakes and cast them all away. Research that one. And I thank you for your input one and all. Janet Leach. Now I am about to go onto the net and research St. Patrick to see if what I was told was correct and St. Jude also, which I was told was the Saint of lost causes. Hope to talk soon. If anyone emails me, on subject , please put all Saints Janet Please so I will open it. and thx for your time.
