“Gute Fahrt” (“safe journey”) appears in capital letters on this St Christopher medal, framed by a gleaming faceted edge. With a diameter of 3 cm and a silver-coloured relief, it is a medal for everyday life on the road.
St Christopher's feast day is 24 July in the German-speaking world, the Roman Martyrology gives 25 July, and Protestant calendars give 26 July. The dates therefore differ depending on the calendar. Many parishes offer a vehicle blessing around this time, a good occasion to bring your car along with the medal.
