O svatém Kryštofovi víme jen to, že zemrel jako mucedník v Malé Asii a že v Bithýnii, v dnešním severním Turecku, mu byl kolem roku 450 zasvecen kostel. Podle legendy se narodil v kanánské zemi a rodice byli pohané. Byl mohutné postavy, jako obr. Rozhodl se sloužit tomu nejmocnejšímu panovníkovi. Svetští vládcové jej však zklamali a on nabídl své služby i dáblu, který se mu zjevil v podobe rytíre na cerném ori. Když však se dal dábelský pán na útek, jakmile uvidel bílý kríž, Kryštof se rozhodl, že bude hledat Krista. V krestanské víre ho vzdelával poustevník, a dal mu za úkol žít poblíž dravé reky a prenášet lidi na druhou stranu. Jedné bourlivé noci ho oslovil malý chlapec a usadil se na jeho ramenou. Behem brodu pres reku díte stále více težklo, takže obr sotva šel. Na druhém brehu ho Kryštof zmožen postavil na zem a uslyšel detský hlas: "Nediv se, nesl jsi více než celý svet, nesl jsi toho, kdo svet stvoril! Jsem Kristus, král, jehož hledáš." Mohutnému obru dal potom jméno Christoforus, to znamená nosic Krista. Ježíš mu také prikázal, aby prebrodil reku a zasadil tam svou hul do zeme, že nazítrí vykvete a budou na ní rust datle. Kryštof pak šíril víru v Lýkii, dnešním Turecku. Pozdeji se dostal do zajetí lykijského krále, který krute pronásledoval všechny krestany. Do žaláre mu dali dve dívky, aby ho svedly a on aby zapomnel n Boha. Kryštof je však primel k pokání a víre v Ježíše a ony byly pak s ním popraveny. Mucení sv. Kryštofa však neprobíhalo hladce. Šípy se odrážely od jeho tela a jeden dokonce vyrazil oko samotnému panovníkovi. Aby zvládl obrovitého hromotluka, musel vládce povolat 400 vojáku. Pak klesl Kryštof k zemi a stali mu hlavu. Bylo to kolem roku 250. Úcta k nemu se šírila od 5. století. Lidé verili, že když se ráno podívají na jeho obraz, budou chráneni celý den. Proto jeho obrazy a sochy byly umísteny v kostelích proti dverím nebo u vchodu.
