St. Christopher was a well-built man who came about a hermit who guided travelers to safe points to cross a dangerous river. Christopher took the place of the hermit but instead of guiding travelers to safe places, he would carry them across the river. He once carried a small child who later revealed himself as Christ and baptized Christopher. St. Christopher is the patron saint for Automobiles, Bachelors, Bus Drivers, Hazards of Traveling, Motorists, Porters, Travel, Travelers, Truck Drivers. Saint Christopher Memorial Feast Day is July 25th.
