DETAILED
SAINT CHRISTOPHER PENDANT
martyr, probably
of the third century. Although St. Christopher is one of the most
popular saints in the East and in the West, almost nothing certain
is known about his life or death. The legend says: A heathen king
(in Canaan or Arabia), through the prayers of his wife to the
Blessed Virgin, had a son, whom he called Offerus (Offro, Adokimus,
or Reprebus) and dedicated to the gods Machmet and
He bound himself successively to a mighty king and to Satan, but
he found both lacking in courage, the former dreading even the
name of the devil, and the latter frightened by the sight of a
cross at the roadside.For a time his search for a new master was
in vain, but at last he found a hermit (Babylas?) who told him
to offer his allegiance to Christ, instructed him in the Faith,
and baptized him. Christopher, as he was now called, would not
promise to do any fasting or praying, but willingly accepted the
task of carrying people, for God's sake, across a raging stream.
