We have very little information about St. Christopher, including his date of birth, and some believe he may have never existed. For this reason he was removed from the Calendar of Saints in 1969. He is no longer venerated by the Universal Church but his cult is still allowed locally. If he actually existed, he was probably born in the early 3rd century AD.
