ST CHRISTOPHER THE GOLDEN LEGEND TODAY IS THE SABBATH OF OUR LORD SO I DEDICATE THIS TO THOSE THAT LOVE CHRIST.... THERE ARE SEVERAL LEGENDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIFE OF ST CHRISTOPHER ONE VERSION IS THE GOLDEN LEGEND. ACCORDING TO LEGEND CHRISTOPHER WAS CALLED REPROBUS HE WAS A CANAANITE THE LEGEND GOES HE CAME ACROSS A BAND OF MARUADERS WHILE SERVING THE KING WITH FOOD ONE OF THEM DECLARED HIMSELF TO BE THE DEVIL SO ST CHRISTOPHER ASKED TO SERVE HIM WITH FOOD BUT WHEN HE FOUND THE DEVIL FEARED CHRIST HE LEFT HIM TO FIND PEOPLE WHO KNEW WHERE CHRIST WAS. HE MET A HERMIT WHO INSTRUCTED HIM IN THE CHRIST FAITH CHRISTOPHER WANTED TO SERVE CHRIST AND ASKED IF HE COULD. THE HERMIT ASKED HIM TO FAST AND PRAY BUT ST CHRISTOPHER WAS UNABLE TO PERFORM THIS SO BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE HE WAS ASKED TO ASSIST PEOPLE ACROSS A RIVER THE HERMIT PROMISED THIS WOULD BE PLEASING TO CHRIST. AFTER ST CHRISTOPHER HAD PERFORMED THIS SERVICE FOR A WHILE A LITTLE CHILD ASKED HIM TO TAKE HIM ACROSS THE RIVER THE RIVER WAS SWOLLEN AND THE CHILD SEEMED HEAVY AS LEAD SO MUCH SO ST CHRISTOPHER COULD HARDLY CARRY HIM. HE FINALLY REACHED THE OTHER SIDE AND SAID TO THE CHILD. YOU HAVE PUT ME IN THE GREATEST DANGER. THE WORLD COULD NOT AS BEEN AS HEAVY AS YOU. THE CHILD REPLIED. YOU HAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS NOT ONLY THE WHOLE WORLD BUT HIM WHO MADE IT I AM CHRIST YOUR KING WHOM YOU ARE SERVING BY HIS WORK THE CHILD THEN VANISHED. I WAS BROUGHT UP WITH ST CHRISTOPHER SO ITS AN HONOUR TO WRITE AND SHARE THIS TODAY CHRIST IS KING BELIEVE AND SERVE CHRIST THANK YOU FOR READING BRIGHT SPARK PHILIP X
