Best Answer

St. Christopher is believed to be the patron saint of travelers. Traditional story tells of St. Christopher who helped travelers across a raging river. One day a small child came to cross the river and asked for help. Christopher began to carry the child across the river but the further he went, the heavier the child became. Once across the river, St. Christopher found out it was Christ he carried across the river. He is viewed as the protector of travelers and the keeper of children. People carry a medallion of St. Christopher or wear on a necklace for safe travels.

In order not to get pinched does the green you are wearing have to be visible or not?

If you are wearing a very minimal amount of green, such as part of a sock, necklace, earring, bracelet, etc, it does not count, and you will rightfully get pinched. However, if you wear a completely green shirt, necklace, bracelet, earring, etc, and it's just hidden (not on purpose, mind you), then if someone pinches you, you are permitted to pinch them back.
