I knew st Christopher was the patron Saint for travellers I don't know why I clicked on St Patrick who is the Patron Saint of Ireland and who was supposed to have chased out the snakes of Ireland although it shows there were never any snakes to begin with.

My kids were always given a St Christopher Medal when they were born from a relative so it would keep them safe when travelling
