St. Christopher medal
Patron saint medallion
A St.
Christopher medal is a small pendant depicting the Christian saint who, according to legend, carried the Christ child across a river.
Traditionally worn or kept in vehicles by Catholic travelers seeking protection on journeys: She touched the St. Christopher medal hanging from her rearview mirror.
The practice persists even among those with loose religious ties, making the medal as much cultural talisman as devotional object.
