more from the coast

Hi again, last weekend I bought an amazing piece of religious kitsch, a ring with St Christopher on it. Buddha is cool as we all know, but if you want a good all rounder saint you cant get better than saint Christopher!! In my ignorance of all things holy, I always thought saint Christopher was the patron saint of travellers only, however this guy is much more, a true all rounder saint in my book. He is also the patron saint of ailments and illness, dangers, mariners, sailors , surfers,, boatmen, floods, hailstorms and lightning. But want there's more. he is also the patron saint of people who lift and carry, porters, transportation and transportation workers and last but by no means least, he is the patron saint of a holy death. I truelly love Mary of Guadalupe, but St Christopher, runs a very close second. That's all for now, Zak
