Description: Vintage St Christopher Medal Chapel Sterling 1" dia 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 · The legend of St. Christopher attributed to the medal often worn by Catholics or Orthodox Christians is the story of a tall, robust man who once served a great king. Seeing the king cross himself at the mention of the devil, Christopher left his service to seek out Satan, who was obviously stronger than the king who feared him. Christopher found a band of criminals, and among them was a man who claimed to be the devil. Christopher offered his services to the man but not for long because soon the devil was seen avoiding a cross. Christopher realized that the devil feared Christ, so he left his service and came upon a hermit in prayer. The hermit told Christopher that in order to serve Jesus he could pray and fast, but Christopher did not think this would suit him. As an alternative, the hermit suggested that because of his size Christopher might do well helping people across a dangerous river. This Christopher did for some time. One day a small child arrived to be carried across. Christopher took the child upon his shoulders, and as he crossed the river, the child grew heavier until Christopher was almost unable to carry him and feared he would drown. When he asked the child why he was so heavy, the child revealed himself as Jesus Christ. He replied that he was heavy with the weight of the world's sins. Christopher successfully got the Christ child across the water and was rewarded by having his staff turned into a tree. He is considered to be the patron saint and protector of all travelers. #325
