Saint Christopher was said to travel seeking the greatest king. He was said to be serving the King of Canaan, and he saw that the king feared the devil. He looked for the devil and found that the devil feared Jesus Christ. He vowed to serve Jesus. He met a hermit who taught him about Christ and then agreed to help a child cross a river. That child turned out to be Jesus Christ. He then went to Lycia where he was beheaded for teaching about Christ.

The Catholic Church feels this story to be a legend rather than a proven story. The story may be confused with Saint Menas and the part about carrying a child across the river may be confused with Jason the Argonaut.
