St Christopher Tiny Saints
Christopher was a 3rd-century Christian and a "carrier" by trade. This meant that his job was to take goods and people safely across rivers that had no bridge. Legend has it that one day a young child asked if he could be carried. Christopher was overwhelmed by the weight of the child, but pressed on. Christopher discovered that the child was actually Jesus bearing the weight of the world. Christopher was being called to carry Christ and His message to all!
