Saint Christopher carrying Jesus over river - Ilustração de stock

Saint Christopher (Greek Ágios Christóforos) is venerated by several Christian denominations as a martyr killed in the reign of the 3rd-century Roman emperor Decius ( reigned 249 - 251 ) or alternatively under the emperor Maximinus Daia (reigned 308 - 313). His most famous legend tells that he carried a child, who was unknown to him, across a river before the child revealed himself as Christ. Therefore, he is the patron saint of travelers, and small images of him are often worn around the neck, on a bracelet, carried in a pocket, or placed in vehicles by Christians.
