Comments :

Came from the ancient Greek Χριστόφορος (Khristóphoros) literally means that leads to Christ. San Cristobal is revered by some Christian groups as a martyr killed in the reign of Decio, the third emperor of Rome or during the reign of the Roman Emperor Maximino Daya. There is a confusion due to the similarity of the names "Decius" and "Dacian". He is the patron saint of the travelers, and its effigy is carried in medals, bracelets or in figures for vehicles on the part of the Christians. - Audrie Vann Cristobal's name means "bearer of Christ".
