The St. Christopher Medal, protector of travel, became popular with the surfers in the sixties who wore it to protect them while surfing. It also became a symbol of "going steady" as guys and girls would exchange them as a sign of romance. Well now they're as popular as ever and it's not just a symbol of going steady. Parents give it to their kids, friends give it to one another as a sign of love and friendship. The St. Christopher Medal has become an icon for the beach lifestyle that everyone at any age can enjoy!
