St Christopher is indeed the patron saint of travel, he is normaly represented as and old man with a stick and a young boy on his back crossing a river, he always has a haylo (sp?). I'm not too sure of the story behind why he is carrying the boy. anybody know? I'm not religious but this sort of thing intrests me.
