Christopher
View through Europeana Collections
Legend has it that the giant Christopher carried the Christ Child across a river, but the weight became almost too much for him: this was because the child was carrying all the sins of the world. In medieval times, Christopher was the patron saint of travellers, which was why colossal statues of Christopher often stood at church doors.
