Saint Christopher is one of the most popular saints in Eastern and Western Christianity. According to legend, he was a giant of a man who carried travelers across a dangerous river. One day, he carried a child who grew incredibly heavy — revealed to be Christ carrying the weight of the world. His name means “Christ-bearer.”
