St Christopher is the patron saint of travellers. This is an unusual St Christopher pendant with its cut out design. There is a full British hallmark on the pendant.
There are two sizes of this oblong-shaped pendant available:
Small: 14x22.5mm, 1.3g
Medium: 16x28mm, 2.7g
It is disputed whether Christopher existed, and if so whether the name applied to a specific person or was a general title meaning "Christ-bearer" which was applied to several different real or legendary people. His most famous legend, which is mainly known from the West and may draw from Ancient Greek mythology, tells that he carried a child, who was unknown to him, across a river before the child revealed himself as Christ.
