Saint Christopher is the patron saint of travelers, protector against hailstorms, toothaches and sudden death. His life and story is a complex, faith-affirming exercise in service.
– Father Albert Cananine

Icons of Saint Christopher are one of the most astounding images found in the Orthodox Tradition. Showing a dog headed saint, they conjure mysterious stories of dog people from edge of the world and werewolves. DRD theologians agree that an in-depth analysis of his iconography is of great importance in order to understand the mystic nature of ancient dogs. #history #funfact
