St. Christopher Medal — Oval Sterling Silver | Patron Saint of Travelers | Personalized Engraving | Travel Gift | Protection Gift

For everyone setting out on a journey.

Christopher was a giant of a man searching for the most powerful master in the world.

He served a king, then the devil himself — but found both wanting. A hermit told him that the most powerful master of all was Christ, and that the best way to serve Him was to use his great strength to carry travelers safely across a treacherous river.

One night a small child came to cross. Christopher lifted him onto his shoulders — and with every step the child grew heavier, until Christopher felt he carried the weight of the entire world. When he finally reached the other bank, breathless and trembling, the child revealed himself as Christ — and told Christopher he had carried not just the world but the one who created it.

For centuries he has been venerated as the Patron Saint of Travelers — worn as a medal of protection by those setting out on journeys long and short, near and far. A blessing for the road.

This oval sterling silver medal carries Saint Christopher at the center — his great figure bearing the Christ child on his shoulders, the words Saint Christopher Protect Us encircling the pendant with diamond drag engraved detailing. The back can be engraved with a name, a date, or a word of safe passage — making this a beautiful and personal gift for anyone you love who is heading somewhere new.

What to engrave: A name and date. Safe travels. A destination. A single word — Courage. Home. Safe. Up to 8 characters per line, four lines available.

For the traveler. The graduate. The soldier. The adventurer. The one you love who is heading somewhere without you.
