Martyrs: Saint Christopher the Dog-headed Giant

Episode eight in Saint Podcast's Martyrs season is about a saint who was a monstrous giant, standing over 12 feet/3.5 metres tall! He’s the patron saint of athletics, travellers, journeys and transportation in general, epilepsy, the city of Havana in Cuba, and of bachelors. His legend inspired a fashion craze in the late 1950s, and he's famously known for carrying an unbelievably heavy child across a wide river who turns out to be Jesus in disguise. Most unusually, this saint was originally depicted with a dog’s head. Join us to explore the legend of a dog-headed giant who was transformed into a jock and the patron saint of surfers.
