About Saint Christopher Statues

Saint Christopher is a saint venerated by Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians, listed as a martyr killed in the reign of the 3rd century Roman emperor Decius (reigned 249–251). In Catholicism he is considered the patron saint of travellers and the patron saint of sports. However, St Christopher's feast day was removed from the universal calendar of saints by the Vatican in 1969 due to lack of historical evidence. It is unclear whether the man in question actually existed and if so, whether he lived a life of holiness. The feast remains on local calendars (such as diocesan or national calendars) on July 25.

Saint Christopher's story
The story of this saint's life is astoundingly different, depending upon whether one consults Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox church sources.

Roman Catholic view
Saint Christopher was a Roman of imposing stature and physical strength, originally named Reprobus. According to legend, Reprobus—referred to as a giant by those who knew him—converted to Christianity and vowed to serve Jesus Christ. Other sources say his name was Offero, and that he was born in Canaan. He sought out a Christian hermit to inquire as to how he could better serve Jesus. He directed him to a path with a dangerous crossing point at a swift river, and suggested that the man's great size and strength made him a good candidate to assist people in crossing the river. So, Reprobus began his new work, ferrying people across the river on his back.

One day, a small child approached the river and asked to be carried across. Reprobus began to comply, only to discover that the small boy was far heavier than any other passenger he had taken. When they finally reached the other side safely, Reprobus asked the boy about his identity and his weight; the child revealed that he was in fact Jesus Christ, and that his unusual weight was due to the fact that he bore the sins of the world. The boy (Jesus) then baptized Reprobus in the river, and he acquired his new name, Christopher, which is Greek for "Christ-carrier" (from Christos, "Christ", and pherein, meaning "to bear").

The child then told Christopher to plant his staff in the ground. The staff miraculously bloomed into a fruit-bearing tree. This miracle converted many.

Enraged at these conversions, a local king (or by some accounts, the emperor Decius) had Christopher imprisoned, where, after cruel tortures, he was beheaded as a martyr

General patronage
Christopher has always been a widely popular saint, being especially revered by mariners, ferrymen, and travelers. However, in 1969 he was removed from the universal calendar following an investigation into the historicity of the legends about him. He is still revered in many local calendars. His feast day was July 25, except in Greece, where it was celebrated on May 9. In modern times a major center of his following has been in Italy and among Italian-Americans.

Among Roman Catholics, Saint Christopher is unofficially revered as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. He holds patronage of things related to travel and travelers: people who carry things; against lightning; against pestilence; archers; automobile drivers; bachelors; boatmen; bookbinders; epilepsy; floods; fruit dealers; fullers; gardeners; hailstorms; for a holy death; lorry drivers; mariners; market carriers; porters; sailors; surfers; toothache; transportation; and transportation workers.
