Saint Christopher
Who He Was
-
His name means “the one who bears Christ.”
-
According to tradition, he was a strong and tall man who helped travelers cross a dangerous river. One day he carried a small child on his shoulders, but as he crossed, the child grew heavier. The child then revealed Himself as Christ, and thus he became known as Christopher (“Christ-bearer”).
Protector
-
He is regarded as the patron saint of travelers, and in modern times also of drivers.
-
In many countries, people keep his icon or medal in their vehicles for protection.

The icon is crafted on a silk canvas, allowing for high detail and vivid colors. The front is coated with a special varnish that preserves the image for many years without fading, even when exposed to sunlight. The back of the wooden panel is painted with a special coating that protects it from moisture and prevents damage over time.
On the back of the icon, you will also find a certificate of authenticity, verifying its origin and quality.
At the top, you’ll find a built-in hook for wall hanging, while at the bottom there is a slot that allows you to place the icon upright on a table — the stand is included inside the box.
The icon comes in a luxurious red gift box with a transparent window, making it perfect for gifting to a loved one.
