Saints of the Canyon Series:

This series stretches far and wide across these legendary canyons of Los Angeles. These canyon roads are the lifeblood of the valley carrying people over through and around these hills. This series will encompasses Mullholland Drive, Beverly Glen Boulevard, Benedict Canyon, Coldwater Canyon, & Laurel Canyon.

I grew up driving these roads for business and pleasure. From one side of the hill to another and back for work. Nocturnal romantic scenic excursions to look out over the bustling metropolis we live in enjoying its wondrous lights. One thing is for sure if you drive like I do a little Saintly oversight couldn’t hurt. Many of my newer passengers find it to be a religious experience as we zoomed around the corners flying through the hills.

Please be careful as these roads can be treacherous. Safe GeoCaching

Saint Christopher

Memorial 25 July (Roman calendar) 9 March (Greek calendar)
Profile His fame derives from the pious legend of him being a "Christ-bearer" (= Christopher). He was a powerfully built man who wandered the world in search of novelty and adventure. He came upon a hermit who lived beside a dangerous stream and served others by guiding them to safe places to cross. He gave Offero instruction in the truth of God. Offero took the hermit's place, but instead of guiding travellers, he carried them safely across the stream. One day he carried a small child across the stream; the child's weight nearly crushed him. When they arrived on the other side, the child revealed himself as Christ, and he was so heavy because he bore the weight of the world on himself. He then baptised Offero with water from the stream. Christopher's service at the stream led to his patronage of things related to travel and travellers
Patronage Saint of Safe Travel
