Volleyball - 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.
