Description
St. Sebastian and St. Christopher St. Sebastian, depicted with arrows, makes many appearances in Books of Hours. According to the Legenda Aurea , his relics helped stop a plague in Italy. Subsequently, he was invoked to aid plague victims, and hence his popularity. St. Christopher was an intercessor for travelers. St. Christopher (whose name literally means “the one who carries Christ”) was a giant who carried the infant Christ across a river.
