What miracles did Saint Christopher perform?

Answer 1

St. Christopher is a legendary saint who may, or may not have ever existed. He is not known for being a miracle performer but for being a martyr. If he did exist, he was declared a saint by the early Christians long before the canonization process that require miracles was instituted,

Answer 2

Saint Christopher is traditionally believed to have performed miracles related to his strength and ability to carry travelers safely across a dangerous river. One famous miracle attributed to him is carrying the Christ Child across a river, where the Child miraculously became heavier, symbolizing the weight of the sins of the world.

Answer 3

St. Menas (the actual St. Christopher) had a vision of angels crowning Martyrs & wanted to join the Martyrs.

God Answered his prayers & told him "Blessed are you & you will receive crowns for your celibacy, asceticism, & martyrdom."

Answer 4

Christopher is a legendary figure who may have never existed. Little is known about him. For this reason he was removed from the official Calendar of Saints several decades back. However, legend and tradition tell us that he was a martyr in the early Church.

Miracles were not required for declaring a person a saint in the early years of Chrisitianity. The person would have been declared a saint by popular acclamation to a bishop based on the lives and merits of the candidate. This was especially true if the person died the death of a martyr as it was felt that making this ultimate sacrifice for Our Lord would be an automatic designation of that person as a saint.

Even today, miracles are not always a requirement for canonization, especially in the case of martyrs.

Answer 5

Saint Christopher was one of the saints that the Catholic Church determined to have a basis mostly in legend. The Church decided it was still possible that he had once lived, so did not completely suppress his cult, but it is confined to local calendars. There is no miracle attached to him, other than that he supposedly carried Jesus across a swollen river.

Answer 6

Virtually nothing is known about St. Christopher. In fact, so little factual information is known about him and the fact that he was more a part of the Eastern Church tradition rather than the Western Church, he was dropped from the Calendar of saints in 1969. His cult is still allowed, however. He is purported to have been a martyr in the early years of Christianity. If he was responsible for any miracles, no records survive.

Answer 7

Very little is known about St. Christopher. In fact, he has been removed from the Calendar of Saints because there is not even enough evidence that he ever existed. Miracles were not required for declaring a person a saint in the early years of Chrisitianity. The person would have been declared a saint by popular acclamation to a bishop based on the lives and merits of the candidate. This was especially true if the person died the death of a martyr as it was felt that making this ultimate sacrifice for Our Lord would be an automatic designation of that person as a saint.

Even today, miracles are not always a requirement for canonization, especially in the case of martyrs.
