Saint Christopher (Greek: Άγιος Χριστόφορος) 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 249–251).
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 in 1969 from the Roman Catholic calendar of saints to be commemorated universally, wherever the Roman Rite is celebrated, because, it judged this commemoration not to be of Roman tradition, in view of the relatively late (about 1550) and limited manner in which it was accepted into the Roman calendar.
