He was born Offero, and took a job as a ferryman. It is said that one day, he bore a small boy on his shoulders across the river, and as they forded the river, the boy became heavier and heavier. Finally, the boy revealed that He was Christ, and that Offero was feeling the weight of the world upon him.
Thereafter, he became known as "Christopher" which means Christ-bearer, and also blends his name with Christ's.
He helped travellers through dangers.
Thank you for the opportunity to answer this question. I have learned much.

Travellers, (not the pikey kind) sadly he was 'downgraded' by the Church and I'm not sure if he's even still recognised as a Saint.
