The Saint Christopher Necklace is a 925 sterling silver pendant carrying Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers. He is shown mid-river with the Christ child on his should er, the moment from the legend in which a ferryman carries a small boy across a ford and finds the weight of the world on his back.The name is the story: Christophoros means Christ-bearer, and it was given to him for that crossing, not for anything he preached. Christians have worn his image for centuries as a guard on the road, and the medal is carried on journeys as a request for safe passage. Show more
