Christopher, St
Patron saint of travellers. His feast day, 25 July, was dropped from the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar in 1969.
Traditionally he was a martyr in Syria in the 3rd century, and legend describes his carrying the child Jesus over the stream; despite his great strength, he found the burden increasingly heavy, and was told that the child was Jesus Christ bearing the sins of all the world.
