How Did Saint Christopher Become A Saint?

In: Saints [Edit categories]

Answer:

St. Christopher is one of the legendary saints who may have never existed. There is little information about him that is reliable. Tradition tells us that he was martyred for his faith about the year 251. There was no official canonization process in place at the time. Since he was a martyr he would have been declared a saint by popular acclamation soon after his death.
