EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Universal Images Group (UIG) depicts a powerful and symbolic scene of St Christopher, also known as the Christ-bearer, carrying Christ across a serene stream. Dating back to the 3rd century in Canaanite culture, this image showcases an early woodcut that beautifully captures the essence of Christian faith. St Christopher, a towering figure in Canaanite folklore, was entrusted with the noble task of safely transporting travellers across treacherous waters. In this depiction, his immense size is evident as he effortlessly carries Christ on his broad shoulders while wading through the gentle current. The composition exudes tranquility and devotion. The significance of this image lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its religious symbolism. St Christopher's unwavering commitment to serving others reflects one of Christianity's core values - selflessness. As he bears the weight of Christ himself, it serves as a reminder for believers to carry their faith with them throughout life's challenges. This remarkable woodcut invites viewers into a moment frozen in time - a testament to ancient beliefs and traditions that have shaped our modern understanding of spirituality. It stands as an enduring representation of St Christopher's role as both protector and guide for those embarking on their spiritual journey
