INSPIRATIONAL CATHOLIC SAINT - SAINT CHRISTOPHER - PATRON OF TRAVELERS
This figurine of St. Christopher comes displayed in a box with a front window, the Saint's biography on the back and a prayer card included inside.
Back of box reads:
"Saint Christopher:
St. Christopher was a man of great strength but of a sensitive nature who wanted to serve the greatest King of the region. But when he found the great King, he finds out that there is one who the King fears; the devil. Then Christopher looked for Satan and served him until he found out even Satan stands in awe of someone: Jesus Christ. So Christopher searched long and hard for Jesus. During the time he spent searching and learning about Christ, St. Christopher converted to the Catholic Faith in Antioch and was baptised by St. Babylas who told him he can best serve Christ by practicing the virtue of charity. St. Christopher then began carrying frail people and travellers across as raging stream. One day he unknowingly carried the Christ Child across and his burden became heavier at every step until it was most unbearable, as Christ was carrying the weight of the sins of the world. To further prove His identity, Christ caused Christopher’s staff to grow into a fruit-bearing tree. This miracle converted many and also angered the Emperor Decius, who had Christopher imprisoned, subjected to torments and beheaded."
