Saint Christopher was removed from the Roman Catholic Church's official calendar of saints in 1969 due to questions about the historicity of his existence and the legends surrounding him. His story, which often depicted him as a giant who carried Christ across a river, was considered more allegorical than factual. While he remains a popular figure and is venerated in various traditions, the Church no longer officially recognizes him as a saint. This decision reflects a broader movement within the Church to focus on saints with verifiable histories.
