This is to provide protection throughout life’s journey. Since St Christopher carried the baby Jesus and protected him, so a St Christopher medal given at a Christening represents an adult guide and protector through the child’s life. This is why godparents often give a St Christopher to their godchild – it represents their lifetime commitment to the child.
