	Saint Christopher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christopher was formerly one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, and the patron saint of travelers.
		Despite his demotion, devotion to St. Christopher remains popular among Roman Catholics, as evidenced by the medallions issued in his name, which are worn to show devotion to a certain saint and ask for that saint's prayers.
		It is, of course, possible that St. Christopher was executed in Antioch during this year by the order of a lower authority; a personal trial before one of the Caesars could be a later embellishment.

	The Origin of the Cult of St. Christopher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Latin account of St. Christopher suffered tremendous evolution from a very early date, and the beginnings of very many of the misunderstandings which were to force this evolution can be found even in our earliest surviving accounts of his martyrdom.
		As for the claim that the events leading to Christopher's death at Antioch occurred during the 4th year of the reign of the relevant emperor, this cannot be true of any of the emperors who had the opportunity to visit Antioch before 305.
		Hence the author of the acts of St. Christopher is identifiable as someone (1) who resided at Antioch sufficiently long to have learned an obscure account of a martyr who had been almost entirely forgotten, and (2) who had a keen interest in missionary activity among peoples at the edge of or outside the empire.
