Comment

St. Christopher  is the patron Saint of travellers, children, gardeners and holy death.  His image is often worn round the neck on a chain, is part of a bracelet, carried in a pocket, attached to a key ring, or placed in a vehicle by Christians.  A St. Christopher is believed to bring safety and good wishes to travellers, but is also given to babies as it reflects the start of their journey through life.
