Carefully crafted in weighty sterling silver, the medal depicts St Christopher carrying a child safely across a river on his shoulder, staff in hand. A polished sterling silver oval bezel with the traditional wording 'St Christopher protect us' frames this scene and is in turn framed by a handsome oxidized Celtic braid.
Solid and strong like the saint it depicts, this medal has a weighty feel, with a large bale to accommodate a chunky chain. On the polished back of the medal we've engraved the word "HOME" in ancient Irish Ogham script. A comforting reminder for those away from home that they are cherished and remembered.
The patron saint of travelers, representing protection and safety, St Christopher is an enduringly popular saint worldwide to this day. With stories of his heroic efforts to help people pass safely through danger, medals with St Christophers image were often worn by sailors, soldiers, and mariners for protection.
The pendant includes a 20" oxidized sterling silver chain but has been photographed with 24" oxidized chain. If you prefer something longer or heavier, choose from our handpicked selection of polished or oxidized chains.
Add a personal engraving to the polished back of the medal to make it your own.

This was exactly the piece I’ve been looking for. I had one from my grandmother as a kid but I lost it. It has good weight & design plus it looks perfect on a longer heavier chain option.
