www.rosaryparts.com offers these Patron Saint Medals for Catholics. There are over 100 different medals to chose from including St. Christopher ...

last week my son won a surfing contest and the medal he got was of saint christopher, and on the back was a man longboarding, i was just wondering what the connection was between winning a surfing contest and one of the patron saints, i know he's the patron of safe travels, but is there anything else that he protects?
Hawaii, yes.

St. Christopher is also the patron saint of watermen.

He is a patron of travelers.

Christopher has always been a widely popular saint, being especially revered by athletes, mariners, ferrymen, and travelers. He is revered as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. He holds patronage of things related to travel and travelers: against lightning; against pestilence; archers; bachelors; boatmen; bookbinders; epilepsy; floods; fruit dealers; fullers; gardeners; for a holy death; mariners; market carriers; motorists and drivers; sailors; storms; surfers; toothache; and transportation workers.

My boyfriend wants to be a firefighter. He recently recieved a St. Christopher medallion from his great-grandfather who was also a firefighter. He says it is for protection in the line-of-duty. Is this true?

Travelers and Firefighters

Most everyone will not say Firefighter but in this case there is a special exception.

There is always special exceptions for all Firefighters, they are all hero's you know.

He was born Offero, and took a job as a ferryman. It is said that one day, he bore a small boy on his shoulders across the river, and as they forded the river, the boy became heavier and heavier. Finally, the boy revealed that He was Christ, and that Offero was feeling the weight of the world upon him.

Thereafter, he became known as "Christopher" which means Christ-bearer, and also blends his name with Christ's.

He helped travellers through dangers.

Thank you for the opportunity to answer this question. I have learned much.
