St. Christopher Necklace Pendants, Charms and Bracelets

Need a gift for a traveler or surfer? Check out our favorite St. Christopher necklace pendants, charms and bracelets!

The holidays are here and I’m writing this on one of the biggest travel days of the year in the US, so I thought it would be a good time for a post featuring the most well known protector of travelers: St. Christopher.

Who was St. Christopher and why does he protect travelers?

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, legend has it that Saint Christopher devoted his life to carrying travelers across a river, and one day, a small child asked to be transported. In the middle of the river the child became so heavy that Christopher barely made it to the other side, but once he was safely there, he was told that he had borne upon his back the world and Him who created it.

St. Christopher has been known throughout history as The Protector of Travelers, but he is also a protector of athletes, mariners, sailors, soldiers, bachelors, and transportation workers. He is also said to protect against toothaches, lightning, floods, and sudden death.

St. Christopher necklaces are also often worn by surfers and their girlfriends / families, a tradition that started in California in the 1960s and still lives on today.

Here are some of our favorite recent St. Christopher necklace, charms and bracelet finds (links below the images):
