Martyrs: Saint Christopher the Dog-headed Giant

August 13, 2024

Episode eight is about a saint who, by all accounts, was a giant, standing 12 feet tall! He’s the patron saint of athletics, traveller, journeys and transportation in general, epilepsy, the city of Havana in Cuba, and of bachelors. His legend inspired a fashion craze with surfers in the late 1950s, and he is famously known for carrying an unbelievably heavy child across a wide river who turns out to be Jesus in disguise. Most unusually, this saint is often depicted with a dog’s head.
