Story: The most famous legend of St. Christopher tells of him crossing a river with an unknown child who then revealed himself to be Christ. During the crossing, the water swelled so much that the child was as heavy as lead. Christopher could hardly lift him and was in great difficulty. When he finally reached the other side, he said to the child: "You have put me in the greatest danger. I don't think the whole world rests as heavy on my shoulders as you do." The child replied: " On your shoulders you carry not only the whole world, but also the Lord who created it. I am Christ your King, and you serve Him through this work." Then the child disappeared.
