Saint Christopher was removed from the Calendar of saints in 1969. However, his cult has not been suppressed so veneration is still allowed. While Christopher probably did exist, his exploits as described in hagiographies are mostly fabrications of writers and little factual information about the man survives. It is known that he was martyred for his faith and that, alone, would be an example for Christians of today or of any era,
