Basketball - Saint Christopher Doubledside Sports Religious Medal "EXCLUSIVE"

• Saint Christopher 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 249251).

  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 day from the Roman Catholic calendar of saints in 1969. At that
• time the church declared that this commemoration was not of Roman tradition, in view of the relatively late date (about
• 1550) and limited manner in which it was accepted into the Roman calendar.
