Rectangular instead of round: this St Christopher medal measures 3.6 × 2.6 cm and bears the lettering “Beschütze mich” (“protect me”). A fine relief radiates behind the saint with the Child Jesus, with a small rose as an additional motif.
The lettering can be read as a request that fits a prayer. The Lexicon of saints offers a simple wording for it: may Christopher, who carried Christ, intercede for all who are on the road, and help us to drive attentively and arrive safely. The medal is a sign of faith, not a technical safeguard.
