The Mythical Saint

    The Mythical saint is Saint Christopher. He is well know for travelling. Now How did He get know has the one to pray to for travelling? Well there is this legend   that this very large, large man (Christopher) was going to cross a high current river, and before he did cross he met this boy that asked to be carried to the other side of the river. So Christopher accepted the child’s request and got the child on his shoulders and started to walk across the river. While Christopher was crossing, he noticed that the child was very, very heavy. This child was Christ, the weight of Christ came for him carrying the whole world in is hands the whole time while crossing the river.( So for this reason many medals and pictures of St Christopher are seen with him and a child)

Back in the day,( Fifteenth Century) it was a whole lot easier that it is today to become a saint. Most of them that did become saints were based on there legends. Then when time came closer to today century (1969)  they took a deeper look at these Some saints like St Christopher, they were taken off of the liturgical calendar.

St Christopher still remains a saint to most people. But to the liturgical calendar/ church this saint is just a myth based on legends…. But you never do know, in 1969 the church looked into it and found no realistic Character in this saint, doesn’t mean this saint didn’t exist. We that live today will never know, else we lived in the Fifteenth century and still live today… ( which is  100% unlikely).

People still pray to this “saint” for help in travel, and in any trouble they may be experiencing. The world today could not know if St Christopher did ever live or if he did actually carry the Christ… we will never know… until  we go to heaven…
