Description
A beautiful 12” early 20th Century full round statue of Saint Christopher hand carved out of the finest wood stained and or waxed by hand. After the original by Pierre Schleiff (Cologne, 1601 - Valenciennes, 1641). In excellent condition. Please review photographs as important part of the description. According to legend, Saint Christopher devoted his life to carrying the weak and poor across a river. One night, when he was carrying a child, he felt his burden grow heavier with each step. When questioned, the child declared that he was Christ and that Christopher was thus bearing the weight of the world. The widespread cult of Saint Christopher stemmed largely from the belief that gazing on his image would protect the faithful from storms and other threats in their travels.
