Wooden hanging amulet with Saint Christopher

A wonderful wood-carved amulet from Mount Athos with a relief representation of Saint Christoforou.

It is an elegant & handy handiwork made in linden or cherry wood, by monks with great skill in wood processing. In a relatively small size and with a well-thought-out construction (thanks to the cord on top), it can be placed anywhere in the house, in the car or even in a bag, so that the believer feels that he always has the Grace and protection of the Saint close to him.

At the same time, it can be a very beautiful gift for the people we love.

On the back is the exact name of the representation.

Saint Kitts (9 May)

Saint Christopher m was born during the reign of the Roman emperor Decius in 251 AD. He came from a semi-barbaric tribe and was called Rebrobus (reprobus = damned in Latin). He was tall, strong and very ugly in appearance. During a war between his tribe and the Romans, he was taken prisoner. He was taken to Antioch and because of his physical skills joined the Roman legions. During his stay in Antioch he converted to Christianity, he was baptized by the local bishop Babyla, the later martyr, and received the name Christoforos or Christopher.
