Saint Christopher Medal Necklace

Saint Christopher medals are very popular and are generally worn for protection. The legend of Saint Christopher holds that he carried a small child with incredible weight across a terrible river. When St.
Christopher asked the child why he was so heavy, the child explained that he was Christ and he was heavy due to the weight of sin. Years after this incident St. Christopher was martyred by pagans. Due to St. Christopher's transportation of Christ across the river, he has been known as the patron saint of travelers for safe travel, and also the patron saint of sports for protection during sporting events. Today many St. Christopher medals exist for travel as well as various kinds of sports. They are very popular because they invoke the Saint's intercession for protection and safety. The Saint Christopher novena is also a popular prayer used to invoke this saint.
