Ice Hockey - Saint Christopher Doubledside Sports Religious Medal "EXCLUSIVE"

Saint Christopher is a saint venerated by Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians, listed as a martyr killed in
the reign of the 3rd century Roman emperor Decius (reigned 249251).

The Eastern Orthodox Church venerates Saint Christopher on 9 May. The Tridentine Calendar allowed a commemoration
of Saint Christopher on 25 July only in private Masses. This restriction was lifted later (see General Roman
Calendar as in 1954). While the Roman Catholic Church still approves devotion to him, listing him in the Roman
Martyrology among the saints venerated on 25 July, it removed his feast day from the Roman Catholic calendar of
saints in 1969. At that time the church declared that this commemoration was not of Roman tradition, in view of
the relatively late date (about 1550) and limited manner in which it was accepted into the Roman calendar.
