The legend of Saint Christopher first written in the thirteenth century, tells the story of a strong man named Offero who wanted to find the greatest ruler in all the world and to serve him as his bearer.
Offero's search was in vain until a mysterious child at a riverside asks Offero to carry him over the river. Only after, did he discover the child's true identity. Then Offero's name is changed to Christopher, Christ-bearer.
