"Exploring the Enigmatic St. Christopher: A Journey through Art and History" Step into the world of St. Christopher, a revered figure in Christian iconography, as we delve into various depictions of this legendary saint. From Byzantine icons to Charles Sykes' mascot, these artworks offer glimpses into the captivating story of St. Christopher.
